They are growing well enough, how long have you had them? I agree on #6. What is/are your goals? They all have lower trunks that lend themselves to uprights, and the long trunk sections that prevent the first five from becoming like #6 could be either air layered off or cut off and rooted as plumb uprights as forest constituents. I count 7 of them that could be removed to a forest plus a few smaller sections for a forest of ~11 to ~13 trees, leaving you with 5 that could be styled into tighter, shorter lollipops. These do not lend themselves to formal or informal uprights in that they do not readily allow clouds/layers to form or thrive. #6 is an exception to that, but it will still be more lollipop than informal upright. That's as close or closer than I have come to an informal upright. If you had your druthers, what would you like to have?
