hi mate :D

i have come back to this one a few times, not to my personal taste but i can see why some make/collect trees like this! its a monster at that height! have you got any more plas for it or are you just gonig with a banyan look? the only thing i would do is probably remove that branch that comes off the right hand trunk forward which is causing reverse taper on that trunk.

what is the tree next to it on the right? i would like to see that one :D

Is this one tree, or several that have fused together over time?

i know what ya mean man, this one though i dont think you have much choice either. the only other option would be to seperate all the trees then reassemble as a forest/group planting if possible ;)
