Imperial Masterpiece
This is a recent garden centre purchase, i was drawn to the tree by the trunk movement, trunk line options, root flare, leaf size....
ive seen some stunning examples, although this variety isnt very common. i think it could be very nice in a few years. ive also read this dwarf variety has an upward growth habit and is slower growing....

i decided that to enhance the movement and get the most natural flow, i would need to cut off two of the three leaders

a biggish scar was inevitable, but choosing the current leader meant that the scar would be barely visible at one side of the tree, so removing 2 of the leaders was the best option when you weigh up the pros n cons, more movement, less visible scarring, changes of direction in the trunk line
