I feel like Ryan might suggest the back as the front, or a little bit different angle. The root that comes along the front of the base cuts my eye from seeing the roots connection with the soil. And that will probably make it so the lowest branch is used. Maybe allowing for a more harmony design.
When i repot in spring i will flatten the root you see on the front and flip it forward so its flat to the surface. Would be difficult to switch fronts as i have opened up this end of the trunk to seeā¦ lets seeā¦ thanks so much for the answers! Great feedback!
Missing the secondary trunk option. I would go for that,
My prediction. Ryan
will want to do something about the two parallel branches with the RED X. He will want the apex to be less broad. He will not want to remove any branches because he will say needs more foliage to drive engine. He will push to left and suggest shortening on right. He will want blue branch situated more in back for depth He will raise lower branch as secondary trunk. Great thread. So interesting everyoneās comments

Check out yesterdays daily tip on the app. Its titled āTo cut or jinā and has some great points that might help with deciding or at least give you a new way of analyzing your tree. It suits the didcusdion really well! What a coincedence!
Reiterations are coming!

Iām excited to see what happens with this tree. I like the lowest branch in terms of overall shape of the tree but I do get why people are saying remove. It seems it should be pulled down further to match the other branches but it would be too low.
I love the slanting style on Hinoki when it is pulled off well!
Hoping to develop one of mine like this tree so thank you for the inspiration.

Well there was indeed great feedback from ryan. Im glad i kept the branchā¦ working on it as wel speak. But here is an update picture. Still not happy with it and probably needing some more guidewires but i can accept the feedback on it being a plus point and interest on the tree. Thank you all for the feedback and great topic al together i think! Looking forward to spring
