Pyracantha in development

I'm posting photos of a few more of my trees in development, in the hopes of opinions, criticism, or whatever. Thanks very much in advance for your help, as always.

I bought this Pyracantha from a local general nursery last Fall. Since I'm useless at virts, I've included a rough sketch of my idea for this one. That strange blob in the middle of the trunk was intended to show where a back branch should be; please forgive my lack of drawing skill.

In the photo, that strange scraggly branch heading diagonally upward and off to the left is the back branch; I'm waiting for it to bud closer to the trunk and to build up a little more girth near the trunk before I prune it back, hopefully in the Spring. Total height, if I remember correctly, is 3-4 inches now, going to 4-5 inches on the eventual finished tree.
