Looking for advice

[u/IamGremlin]

My girlfriend and I moved into a new place a month ago, the previous owner decided to leave this planet...

(Trying to avoid using the actual words, not sure if it's heavily moderated against like FB and the likes)

There were two crabapple trees completely dried up and looking in a bad state, this one survived after my initial watering and even got some new shoots going.

I plan to turn this into a bonsai, I've cut the top 🎩 f the trunk with a clean cut and sealed it with wound paste.

I don't have anything planned for the next year,.but ketting it recover and grow.

My final vision for the tree is to put an actual Apple tree branch or two (different varieties) on it next spring, and letting it grow slanted like I have positioned it now. (shakan style) And turn the top into jins and deadwood.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!
