Front becomes back. Sacrifice becomes permie?

Just thought I’d post an interesting subject,KJ, for discussion. Originally I was growing the left side long and strong to build a thick base for the permanent tree on the right that would stay shohin sized. Now I’m wondering if the left side shouldn’t be thought about being kept. In any case I will probably wait another couple of years or 5 to make a decision. For now I will keep the apex of the left side from growing any higher and leave one of its lowest branches to to become a new dominant leader. Btw I wired the left side two years ago because I had some extra wire and trims. Basically just for the hell of it.

To be honest.. I do not think the corkscrew twist is doing anything for me. Use as intended and remove and keep the small branch
