My boss from time to time throws out nursery stock that he doesnt have the space for on the drippers so I saved this one from the skip bin instead . there was alot of branches that became
void naturally . Ill be happy to take any suggestions I have a few plans in mind. Wouldnt mind keeping it reasonably tall too. thanks guys

It looks like it is sitting on the back of a 1974 Ford F250 custom... But that isn't the question.
I wouldn't be changing anything on the design of the twin trees. It would be more about refining what was there. Pulling the trunks apart so they lean away from each other. Then shortenings the long branches to start developing them.
Free tree!

Patience is often a surprise.
