Not much wiring, albeit a few branches were redirected down that I'm deciding to keep and build upon.
Before work - made it through the winter well.
Defoliated, left just a few tiny leaves here and there.
Brought a few branches down, cut back the 'too many apexes' syndrome it was looking to have. Will leave it as is for now, next defoliation (in May likely) will result in a few more branches removed, and placement of remaining, in preparation of summer growth.
Who knows, it may go from 2 trunks to 1 eventually, the 2nd has no motion in the trunk, but this could change with some carving and hollowing as I"m planning to try out on this tree.
Privet is a hardy plant, great for beginners like me to tool with and get my techniques down pat on!
