Nice score, non -grafted? Where did you get it???

If you would like more movement in the trunk, I suggest you wire it as soon as possible, and the branches you would like to keep too.. Nice find.

Sadly I think it is too late. That trunk is stiffer than a 12 year old who just stumbled on his dads stack of nudie mags.

How about using the whole top part above the first two branches as sacrifice branch...since it will be a big auch! to cut that kind of stiff parts...and developing the tree from those two branches...one as an apex and the other one as first branch.

My initial thought is a lot of the top will have to go and will not be part of any final design.

Looking at this tree again last night to get ready to wire and was debating what branches I will remove and what will stay. Since they are all pretty much whorls with all branches coming at the same level, i'm wondering how to tackle it to make the best looking tree. Bar branches are a no no but i have to work with what I've got.
If removing the majority of branches from each level leaving one or two, will the gap between the first lowest branch and the next one up seem to far apart to the viewer? I know if I wire the branches down it may make it seem less but I was looking to get some input from more experienced folks.
The other option is to wire all of it and see what happens over the winter in the event some die back. Then in spring re-evaluate and remove any branches to make a design. of course i will still have the same whorl problem then to deal with.
Thoughts much appreciated.

Sorry, don't have any suggestions for the tree, but just wanted to say that Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies. Love the Joe Pesci character, especially that scene in the restaurant. "I'm funny how? I mean funny, like I'm a clown? I amuse you?..."
Edit to add - regarding the tree, can you post a series of photos from different sides, looking at the tree straight on? Maybe slip it out of the pot (if the rootball is solid) so we can see the entire trunk and any surface roots?

You can still wire the trunk doesn't seem to thick. Just make sure you wrap in 2 layers of raffia and protect it afterwards against drying out and frost.
there is always a way to bend it and pines bend easily until the get older.

I'll try and get some more pics up soon.
I'm still not sure about trying to bend the trunk. It looks small but seems like it has no give what so ever.

NY, I have the same branch problem with 2 JWP I have. I repotted both this year so cant do anything more this year. Next spring I will start removing some of the branches and then leave it alone for a year and do the rest next year if it recovers. If I have to, I will spread out removing more branches a third year. I think doing it in stages is safer for the tree.

Never heard of JWP "Annuda".

Very unique variety grown exclusively in Brooklyn.

Just think of Elmer Fudd and youll understand.

Sounds like it could be a stubborn species.

Potentially prone to violence as well (hey, I can say that...born in Brooklyn
)Seriously, someone needs to get a batch of seedlings, select one and name it 'Anudda'. There could be a whole series - P. parviflora 'Anudda', 'Henry Hill', 'Goodfella'...
