I bought this ap. from Brent last year, I am beginning to cut it back and want to post pictures of the tree as it is now befor I cut anything else off.
I cut two large branches off last month so I could see the trunk line better. I am in central Florida with little threat of frost so this is a fairly safe time to trim large branches.
I took this picture and edited most of the background out, then virtually cut the trunk where I had it marked with a wire loosely wrapped around the trunk. My gut tells me to style to the most compact tree, but I see the graceful trunk that Brent grew and want other thoughts before I cut.
There is an upward growing branch right below the green wire that would make a nice new leader. I am thinking the top should be about 6 inches above the trunk chop ( if I cut it).
Here are the links to the photos, this way you can see the largest pictures possible.
