I used the second, leaned to the left a bit. I use guise wires and branch wiring, just depends on the branch.
I have some varieties that trunk well (for serissa), but the purple isn't one of them. Pinky finger is the best I can do.

Not sure I would consider adding any more tropical a to the mix. After losing 4 last winter to propane take woes when arctic temps rolled in. I'm trying to stick with native friendly trees. But, knowing they can take 40F without fatal death...makes me more hopeful that this one I was given...has a leg to stand on fighting chance. (If we would have a hiccup with our furnace/propane tanks)
That was a very nice vert...I will be studying the tree at photo angle two...and attempt to bring out your vision...because I had absolutely nothing going for me. Though...pruning states to happen a bit later come early fall. To help with stress heat I will hold off on pruning now. So...maybe just plan at this time my next steps. I could toss a few guy wires on though possibly. Time will tell. But, I do appreciate your virt drawing...it gave me a direction for this tree.
