One year of being developed by me. Pulled this from a garden center for $25 last Spring. I want to create a white deadwood Jin where the torn branch is, probably train some of the upper pads downward a bit.

Go for it man!
Also, if you have the time, you can clean up the bark. ERC is notorious for developing rust issues, and having clean bark can help you identify potential infections.
They will show absurd deformations on the bark, as if there was a balloon animal inside, which are invisible if the flakes are on it. Unless of course the rust is growing like wildfire, a trained eye can spot it from across a room.
