POCKET branches
POCKET BRANCH
Branch B forms at the inside of a curve, or "pocket" in the main trunk and is called a "pocket branch" So C would be preferable. It forms at the outside of the curve. Why do trees grow this way...throwing off branches at what appears to be close to the apex of each curve? Think of the branch as a leverage point and the trunk growing away from it provides balance to the design.
Similar to Bar branches, a Pocket branch may serve a purpose in a design. If there are no branches in that area of the trunk, a pocket branch may be a preferable alternative to a tree with a foliage void in an unfortunate position.
