Robert,
To evaluate the front of a tree you have to see the nerabi !! your picture is to dark to see the surface roots. Also you should consider to take photos right in front of the tree, with the camera horizontal at the same highed as the base of the trunk. From what I can see now the second picture give the best front. The top of the tree is to heavy, I think you should cut away the heavy branch in the top of the tree. Hope this helps? brgds,

I'm a little confused, the post title is Forest betula pendula, yet the tree is clearly a Hazel(corylus-can see it on the label in the pot)

Obviously the post title is a mistake, and robert knows perfectly well that this is not a birch. I also suspect that he knows it is not a forest. Carl

Carl, I was being ironic. Just because your not "Showbiz" like Grampz and New4me - Quit being a player hater or I'll do a rain dance or something. I know you live in Seattle.. but its actually me controlling the weather
 To reply to bonsaiforever, which I should have done in the first place, I think the second picture is the best for the front of the tree. My reasoning for this? Well I looked at all 3 without expanding them, and the one in the middle looked like a big tree the most. A highly skilled technique I'm sure  .I think I can also see a fair sized nebari in that picture too, so its a win win situation. Regards Aaron |

Yes, I immediately edited the original because I thought it unkind to point out that you didn't bother to read the post before replying. But since you insist on re-posting the original here.... Quote:

Who exactly are you calling a player? Quote:
The second picture has a root pointing right at the viewer and has the first branch crossing over the trunk, bad choice of fronts here. If it were my tree and based on my personal experience I would bring the height down by possibly doing a airlayer, this would allow me to grow out some decent roots and get rid of that staight section on the lower trunk, while taking advantage of the trunk movement higher up. This using the first picture as the front. I have outlined just one of many options that you have, this one gives you three trees. The first tree would have some graceful movement if the left thick branch was eventually cut off. The second tree has great movement and I would style the third tree into a broom. You will still need to balance the rootage out as you seem to have only a couple larger roots sticking straight out. "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
