I totally disagree. The second picture in the series from July (after the tree was trimmed) makes a gorgeous front IMO.
Yep, that was the original plan, but I am kind of moving towards making the new front focus on the deadwood more... That is part of the reason I wanted to keep this one in an oval pot though- it looks cool from different angles.

@jriddell88 no plans to remove that lower branch. I need to keep as much growth on that side of the tree as possible to keep the live vein strong, and I like the drop branch personally. Thank you for your input though! There are plenty of options for this tree and I may reduce that branch some one day. I certainly plan to tweak it a bit later this year!

The drop branch creates conflict, which I suppose is a good thing for literati. It's a bit full of foliage for literati though. I think once it grows out and you prune it back you could reduce the pads a little and create something a little more sparse.

Photo sucks, as I am super handy with computerstuff. ...NOT!
