oooh i like that one ...id loose the back branch,cut the right side branch back to the 3 small branches then cut the 2 left branches leaving the farthest left one. it will take a few years to fill out but it has nice lines this way.azalea branches are hard to bend once they get to a 1/2 inch or so,so slowly reducing the older wood and replacing with new growth will make styling easier

:pinch: :blink: well allrighty then...that just added a few more years to the growing out phase . well then i would wire that branch into the shape you want it(it is hard to get good bends in older wood ),grow the 1st three branches as your "tree" and grow out the rest to fatten the branch alittle. as i see i think you have your own plans ,but you asked... keep us all posted im interested to see the progress w/ this one
