do what you want with the tree... IT IS YOUR TREE!! I understand your dilema but if you trust your vision do it. I know some of Naka's trees I have seen, I would change if I had them... I know he had a cypress tree with all the branches hanging straight down from the crown. I thought the tree was gorgeous but the branching terrible. If I had it I would have changed the branching even though it was styled by NAKA. If Naka gave me the tree to keep in his memory, then I would leave it be.. I am guessing if Peter Chan sold Naka a tree, Naka would do what he wanted with it. Joanie, you are my NAKA.... do it, change it...
