This is a Cotoneaster that Stephen brought to my place a few weeks agao to do a little carving and eventually restyle. It had lost two weak branches at the back and was placed into this tub to regain vigour for the last year. This seems to have worked.
Stephen cover this session on his blog HERE
Yesterday afternoon Stephen came back to do the wiring and styling. We also did a little more carving. This was it before we started wiring.
After some wiring this is the image that Stephen preferred for the tree.
I found this older photo of it from back in 2011
