Too tall?

[Raymond]

This is one of my first attempts. It has been in this pot for 2 seasons. It was in a normal garden pot before that. After joining this forum, I have come to the conclusion some of my trees are too tall. I would like to keep it as a twin trunk, but I am open to ideas,

It definitely needs a new leader on both trunks and a quality picture would get you more responses. i like twin trunks and this could be a future good tree. Difficult to give info though on the picture quality.

Thanks for the tip @bodhidharma. Just using Iphone for pics

Bigger clearer photos would be a help. I wouldn't necessarily say that height is the issue - more likely lack of taper is the real issue.

Cannot really judge due to small file size, but cutting back to the first branch on each trunk will be a start.

Bending the trunks is also an option.

I like the base on it.

Nice base but yeh I think it's to tall. Maybey put it back in garden pot an trunk chop (either to one trunk or two.) then give a heavy feed and put a bit of movement into the the leaders. When regrowing the canopy try to bring some of the branches down. Take lots of cuttings off what you remove to creat lots of new stock.
That's just my two cents

[Raymond]

time8theuniverse you mentioned bending the trunks. How would one go about this, they are fairly thick?

I would drastically chop it back 50 % and feed it with liquid fertiliser and put in full sun. It will sprout new buds in no-time.
