I can't stress enough...that it's okay not to see the direction of a tree right away. It's okay to just offer it horticultural care until it whispers sweet nothings into your ear.
Example...
A plain Jane Procumben that was a friend's late brother in laws material.
Still no direction, was hoping to allow it to just grow out to offer me "more" options. Two winters now with no direction yet, but offering up more to work with. (Was slightly hoping for taking it into a non cascade. But at this time...it's not offered me that direction or whispered into my ear.) Thinning and allowing to just grow
Then the ugly duckling...I was hoping when I made the purchase I could change that angle for showing off its movement. Another "let it grow until it speaks to me tree." Left it grow for some time.
