Yes, i ll do it on early springexactly at the spot where you now draw the graft I see the old attachment of a leaf. The moment you give this a strong trim assuming it is healthy, you should see buds there.
Also clear when tridents have their branches pulled down in styling. All other branches take over, and even buds near the base of such branches develop much stronger than the tip of the branch. I think apical dominance bends to gravitational dominance, if such a thing exists.sap does not seem to flow downhill very strong.
And some mothersThat's a nebari only a parent could love.

Thanks for all comments.That nebari definitely has character.
And I would leave the first branch where it is, and develop the tree
Yes, but its a open balcony, it takes air movement a lot. Sunlight is partially, under a huge pine treeIs it growing on a balcony? If so, this is challenging. Air movement and good sunlight are important to good growth.
