I don't think your trunks are a problem at all. Of course we are looking at a two dimensional picture, so it looks to be more of an issue, than it probably is when viewing it three dimensional. Upon closer inspection it appears (correct me if I am wrong), that the trunk to the rear, is just that, a "rear trunk", and so not really crosses anything, but gives depth and character to your tree. Much better than removing it, and leaving the image flat and two dimensional. Very good material, soon to look like a great old live oak. Good progress, keep us up to date.
