Penn State,

Maybe all is not lost. I was thinking a semi or full cascade is still possible. I think that the reverse taper can be minimized (or even eliminated) by re-adjusting the base over to the right (facing) on a re-pot. Some wiring and bending could make this tree worth keeping. Depending on the age, I would like to see some shari in the lower trunk, but that's a personal choice. I've attached a quick sketch to explain what I mean. Sorry, but I'm a doodler, not a photoshop"er".

BTW, I would introduce more movement (wiggle) into the trunks/branches but I didn't want to show it in a manner that doesn't reflect its current state.
