Thanks for your time, the virtual and the advice Walter!

I will study it to see what can be done.

David,

It's doable but I'd have to cut off a big back branch that goes left and right and give the tree depth from the side as well as the front.

I don't think I want to eliminate that branch.

I wish we had 3D!

PS. If you noticed, Walter changed the planting angle slightly to the left, which I think I will do at it's next repotting.
