Look carefully at the trunk and branch structure of the tree below. See the text below suggested to improve structure.

Structure in the bottom two-thirds of the crown is great. There is one trunk extending well up into the crown and branches are small in diameter and oriented more-or-less horizontally. There are several branches in the top half of the crown growing up and almost parallel to each other. Stems and branches growing upright can be subordinated or suppressed by reducing their length with reduction cuts where possible. One or two might be removed entirely. Pruning needed home | Back
