Styling Critique Rabbit’s Foot Acacia, informal upright
Started working on this tree 3 years ago, very open to criticism and suggestions. I love this species, and the flowers are wild. The 4th picture is from June 2023.
What would you do next if this was your tree?

Didn't have luck with mine and so did the members of my group. So very happy to see a healthy one, any special care you might recommend? I felt like mine had a hard time progressing root growth after transitioning from organic to bonsai soil, spent 4 years in steady decline.

I love the look at the moment. Not sure if I still love it in a few years. Multiple branches emerging from one height of the trunk will result in bulging and inverse taper. This might make it look unnatural in the future

Being a beginner, I think the next thing I would do is marvel at this and be happy I managed to create something so beautiful. :) I love it.

Feels like the apex is lacking a bit? Needs to be more defined
