Hi again!
I've found posting on Reddit very helpful and educational. My last post about the colors of the leaves, I think, was due to water/how young the leaves were. They are all now the shade of green that I had at first. (Check out my previous post if you want, just added this as an update for anyone wondering)
I plan to repot this bonsai in 2028, and I want to get some advice on wiring at the moment. I have included inspo photos of bonsai that I would want this to look similar to, although I do not have an exact pic in mind. ( I am aware my mindset will likely change, and that's okay!
MAIN QUESTION: Should I start wiring right now? If so, can you give me specific wiring techniques/wire size I should use? I also know that I will be using quite a few of these branches just to grow out and cut them back (2027 Spring) to try to get a thicker trunk/reduce the noise.
2)Where should I wire? If it's not too much of a hassle can some people tell me how they would wire?

I’m not sure of how brittle fukien tea are but look it up online and cautiously test for yourself. IMO, your inspiration images represent mallsai with that generic s curve, of which there are millions of those exact same tree available to you right now if thats what you’re looking for. Look for a more mature & original specimen for your Inspo. Your going to want to have a full range of wire available, skipping every other size to start. Use aluminum.
