Ideas for serissa styling

I got this 2008 serissa that I was hoping for some opinions on improving. I have created a few pictures of what I have thought of, though I'm not sure the more extreme one would work out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

These are some photoshops I did myself. I'm not sure that the more extreme of the two ideas would work...

Hi Beano,
I believe the last photo you showed is the right way to go. This will give you more interesting movement and better taper. You will find that a number of new shoots will appear, and you will be able to select what you want to keep.
Regards Ray

Hi Beano, Serissa does well in qld and the advice you have been given is sound. A second option would be to feed the tree up and let it grow. Serissa backbuds easily and that might produce more options for you to play with. Just a thought.

Thank for your inputs! I don't have any tools yet, or cut paste, so I'll have to sit on making a decision until I get some.
