This one has really been pushing some new growth so I decided to give it a hair cut. What so you think?

Nice. Since you've opened/thinned it, I would take this opportunity to put some wire on.
 
I like it the way it is ;) How old is that one? Looks well established.

I took a few wires off. I will probably put a few guy-wires on it to pull some limbs down a little bit. It is too full to put traditional wiring on. Especially now as its next trimming will not be as severe and the last until after next season's flowering.

I really don't know how old it is, I have had it for about two years. The trunk is the same thikness as it was at the time of purchase. It used to be a five gallon nursery plant about three feet tall.
