Love that pic with your pup. She’s good for scale too - hadn’t realized how big the tree is

Yeah... it's a love/hate relationship as it is so big. To two step it. Or just move it about. That said, since covid... I am way more fit. I lift some weights. Nothing for bulk...just to tone. And it's far easier to move. Just really awkward being careful with that long cascading branch. But it's still heavy. It's a lot for my husband to lift onto the stone bench for sheltering if a storm is coming and I am sick with my lungs. He will always say...he's amazed I can lug it about. But I trust no one when I'm capable to move it...to do it for me.

I know how it goes! I’ve got some big trees myself. It’s been much easier to move them around since ive been getting back into weightlifting. Sounds funny to say but it really helps!
Looks like you are doing great with it

Upon advice from Bill Valavanis. I am moving the apex further right. But once it's there. It will be a much nicer tree. Until then...the silhouette is less clean as it's being done. But end results. Will definitely pay off. Thanks. I'm proud of where it's come so far.

Something to be said on that ombre blush of fall starting. Backside you can really notice it. So I start there.

Lovely, and looks like it'll be a stellar color year for you. What is the big news about this one? I'm so curious...

Taken today...along with video footage that I'll post up tomorrow. Where I climb up on the stone bench built into the stone wall...for a upper canopy visual...before hopping down and finishing the snippet of footage. Lol
Not dragging it inside ... this will be it's final full on fall show image.

The fall color on Ryusen is amazing

My baby one colors up like yours but needs a lot more growing on.

For those interested...a different perspective. I grab an above shot of the canopy before hopping down and finishing the small snippet.

A screenshot...of the ryusen from above while standing on the stone bench beside it. For those who don't wish to open the link and see video footage. I still feel this was a cool perspective I caught in a snippet of footage
