I agree with chappy on his appraisal of this tree except I wouldn't reduce the foliage of those branches. Virtual no.3 is too contrived for me and virt. no. 1 is a non-starter unless the apex ( raised up a bit ) were to drop down suddenly and return toward the trunk giving an almost literati feel to it. Hmmm shohin literati now there is a new 'slant'.
