This large branch coming right out from the center of the trunk was the hardest one to take off.
I loved this branch. The whole tree could have been shaped from this one branch, if I wanted a one branch tree!
The area was so tight with branches that first signs of swelling were already starting to show. Take it out with the concave cutter! The full potential of the tree can not be seen without taking out some of the wanted branches along with the unwanted. This is a hard habit to break, but with cutting out the larger branches now and exercising a little patience, I will have a finer branched tree, and will have more possibilities in the future. Hey, I don't have to enter this thing in the show next week, let's let it grow for a while.
