The most daring option, is of course, to eliminate them both, or at least minimize them so that they do not protrude from the foliage at all, making a more informal tree than windswept-
The advantages:
1. A fuller canopy of layered foliage would be more "logical"
2. There is one strong focal point- the wonderful basal deadwood and shari.
3. The movement is consistent, and your eye is lead adn then contained within the tree.
Picture the tree leafed out! I regrettably have no "buttonwood leaves" with me...
This si the option that I would choose. You have the advantage of a better 3-D view and can better evaluate these ideas...
