I've been into slanting trees lately, maybe next time you root prune it slant it off to the side 45 degrees or so and cut back to the just the 3 main branch ends so what happens

Has to be a big tree as the leaves don't reduce really well. Or I have seen the shown fully defoliated. I feel you need to do a trunk chop on it as it doesn't have much taper. I would like to see the base fatter and the height much shorter.
