My first attempt at working on nursery stock (I'm also a novice in general). I'm struggling to come up with a plan for this tree. Most branches are opposing each other and there are not many direct 'front' or 'back' branches. The trunk also turns into a fan of sorts.
Any suggestions for styling/branch selection? I'm not sure what styles are common for this tree and I haven't seen any Google Image examples of any similar tree with similar trunk structure near the top. I've done minimal pruning so far just to get a look at the trunk and I think I'll let the tree recover for the remainder of the growing season and then tackle hard pruning next spring.
