Okay, I got out my branch cutter.
It's still "tiered" but I think less and the trunk is more obvious.
The branches are too old to bend easily and I am sure would break if I tried.
I'll wait for some new growth to tell me something.
I'm not happy with that one lower branch spreading out like Poseidon's trident, but trying to figure out which will go. Also very old and stiff large wood.
I'm tending toward cutting out the middle one as it has the least ramification but think I'll try wiring each or one of the other arms before deciding.
Just to play it safe/r.
Anyhow..... thanks for suggestions. Keep em coming if you get some ideas.
