Dav4 Drop Branch Murphy Messages 13,837 Reaction score 34,161 Location SE MI- Bonsai'd for 12 years both MA and N GA USDA Zone 6a Oct 31, 2017 #2 For me, I'm going with the first image. It's fluid with lots of movement and taper. The second front could work, but I would want to shorten the top a bit and make the top most branch on the left the new apex and train it to the left.

Zach Smith Omono Messages 1,513 Reaction score 2,872 Location St. Francisville, LA USDA Zone 8 Nov 3, 2017 #13 Thanks to everyone who voted. Front #2 was the clear winner.
