Over the past couple years I have experimented with a sort-of 'Abstract' approach to design on a couple of my trees.. This is one such offender..
Curious to hear others thoughts / ideas / opinions !

Hey CK,
Sounds interesting. Can you elaborate on what this approach is and how it differs from what is already out there?
Cheer,
Joel

It has a really good trunk movement.
The 2nd picture in the first post has the highest branch being at the outside of the diameter. I would wire this one down but maybe just to the horrizontal. It could even be taken off.
It does look good. I like the work you have done with the roots too.

Hey Joel, Basically.. there was no clear approach.. Abstract.. I was a newbie. still am.
I try to be far more formal in design as of late.

A couple angles could become informal upright plans...
Where should i take this one?

I know can see what you mean but I say take it in whatever abstract direction you see.
I like its elongated canopy. But your closer to it than me.
