Not sure whether I've posted this before but I have taken the suggestion of Jow and tilted clockwise a little to make the larger head more dominant. A good move I think. Thanks Jow!
This was collected by one of our BSV members a few years back. It was chopped right down and the whole of both crowns was grown from scratch. It has taken about 15 years? and will probably need another 10 to really look convincing.

Re: Olive.
Cool tree. Are you planning on developing the small branch on the left forming a more triangular silhouette, or stick with two trees as main focus?
