Another LARCH Yamadori - Advice/Virtuals?

Hi everyone. Here is a larch I receintly acquired. I apologize for the photo quality but it is a difficult day for pictures. I'd like to hear everyone's ideas for the future of this tree and would love to see a virtual if anyone can do that.

It is about 2-inches wide at the trunk and about 19-inches tall.
Zone 4-5

Thanks in advance,
wmcorcor

Unfortunately I don't have first hand knowledge of growing larch. Its a bit too warm in our climate to grow them.

However from a design perspective I feel the tree is much too tall for it's trunk thickness. You seem to have good branching and alot of branching as well. This is a nice tree but would love to see a slightly thicker trunk on it.

Sorry about the roughness of the virtual but like you said the pics weren't the clearest. But this is what I would be looking at trying to achieve.

Thanks David. My plan is definitely to shorten it, actually even more than your virtual but I do like your virtual including the height. I would like a thicker trunk also but so far the larch I've worked with have not thickened up, even in the ground.

If you use the Naka 6:1 height ratio it would be about 4-inches shorter than your virtual but with many branches to choose from I'm sure I can bring it down slowly until I find the proper proportion.

I always like to see a few ideas of what others see in the tree before I start the real cutting.

Thanks again.

I'll try to add beter pictures but it's not the easiest treet to photograph.
