Hi Everyone!

Thanks for everyone's advice previously on this one.
I'm about to start styling this JBP and would like some opinions, it was previously chopped so a number of branches are radiating out from the same junction.
Also i'm at pains about the lowest large branch being too far down the trunk, i was looking at a informal upright style, any thoughts and opinions would be great!

Any chance of a well lit close up pic of the trunk and the first branch at all?

good point! they arn't very clear are they...i hope these help a bit more

In my opinion the bottom branch is way too low and probably the next one up the trunk as well; that means the first branch would probably come from the chop point and be wired below horizontal by up to 45 degrees or so.

The appears to be a branch that could be wired down and the new trunk line could be the heavy one that kinks to the right and then straightens; if it has adequate branching as it goes up.

I am referring to the 2nd of the 3 new photos.
