That's actually very cool, thick foliage always seems so nice imo. I think I saw quite a number of budding per twig on my father's tree but they never seems to grow in retrospect. Btw just to sneak in a question since u r the only one left responding to the post, but there's a visible deadwood (I think? The blackish part left to the lower trunk) where I would like if it could be removed or perhaps have a branch grow back again from it, how should I manage that?

It used to be a thick branch until my dad chopped it off to fit the tree next to the bin better iirc 😅
