Bottom right branch looks out of place as well and not typical to the nature of the tree type. Id let it lift up and don't wire it down like a traditional pine tree.Rory wrote:So... .looking at all the pictures you've posted, I would take off a few of the main branches that accentuate the reverse taper if you want to kill that immediately.
Then I would start to develop one of the main branch that gives it a slight leaning look. I certainly wouldn't go with the one that comes out at right angles.
I would not completely cut below the main branches. I think nature has given you a wonderful structure and a unique framework to start shaping. But this is just me and my opinion.
Good luck and please keep us updated.
Having seen all your pics now.... I would remove the right angle and perhaps try for something like this....
