Hi Simon,


This one is more looking like a group, so it should stay this way, but.....

As I look at it, I see that the backtrunk moves to the left, but the other 2 move to the right. This gives me a strange feeling, when looking at it. First I would let them all flow in the same direction, that'll give a better view. Than I would cut them back to 3 levels, like I proposed for your other group. Than start building up again, as would it be 1 tree, so with 1 canope.

Wessel

Ummm well its going to be difficult to change the back trunk cause i used screws to atach them together,and i like your idea of staggered trunk levels .
HMMMM ill have to think this one over cause its to cold to do trunk chopping here yet.


thanks
