$10 Dwarf Alberta Spruce

[PowerTap]

I bought this tree for $10 two days after Christmas two years ago. I chopped it way to hard and have been on the fence about it as a twin trunk / formal upright. It has a decent bace and some taper, but has some big gaps that I don't think will ever will in.

Last night while looking at the tree I came up with this rough plan for the tree to give up some of its height and try to make a shorter more interesting tree.


I'm not sure if I should just abandon the second trunk

I think this is a good time to do the chop so the tree can recover for the rest of the summer?

I kind of like it the way it is with the two trunks. But the main trunk is a bit tall, I would Jin the big leader near the end of the smaller trunk in the right.
