Nice trunk on this, you are well on the way to achieving a really nice raintree.

Hi Amazonida, the second tree needs the top shortened, its too tall with not enough taper. Also with that beautifully curved base you need to continue those curves all the way up the trunk. the new top section is too straight. You could almost make a good semi cascade from this tree if you had a good branch on the outside of that major curve.
