Hi Mojo,
Thanks again for your virtual and suggestions.
The photo shows a couple of the changes made to the tree.
Gave it a bit of a haircut while I was at it and will now spend a bit more time and effort on the crown.
Regards
Steve

Maybe the right branch could be thinned out a little or is that for horticultural reasons?

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Thanks for your comment Adam - much appreciated.
Another of your statesmen (Mojo) was kind enough to give me a few pointers a couple of years ago which I continue to refer back to.
I am still waiting to see one particular tree of yours mate .........
