Hey clay, to each, his or her own
but this is really interesting material.
I think it has some really nice movement, its just hard to see in these pics becuase they are so small. Very hard to do a virtual as you cant get any detail.
I have done 2 very quick virtuals (5 mins) but with a bigger picture taken at a better angle.....
Levon, if you havent been struck by what to do with it yet, try to just pinch and thin the foliage a bit to hopefully get some inner growth moving, you will have more choices then. give it 6 months or so if you can wait that long and study the tree, seek other advice but only chop when you are 100% happy with your decision. I have rushed in and ruined more trees that i care to talk about
hope these ideas help you with whatever direction you end up taking
