Cool. I don't think I can offer anymore than whats already been said by some experienced people here.
I am a fan of pyracantha too. I've one which was an air layer of a parent tree, 5 years ago. I am growing and developing it slowly. it is due to have its second trunk segment chopped off .. any day now. Its not exactly how I wanted it, I should have wired sooner and got better movement but it'll be interesting in 10 years or something.
Your zone is similar to mine, pyra grow well. Back bud well. Everywhere...

And another one, one of the twisted root types, that you might see around.

This one is quite weak in my opinion, has been left to grow a bit more this season, will have some maintenance pruning done soon, let grow for rest of the year. See how it responds next year and I might prune back properly. As long as I can determine it is healthy and strong, it will respond well.

Thanks for sharing, and nice photo taking abilities, I actually learn more visually. Are you planning to remove the side that looks like a "v"?Cool. I don't think I can offer anymore than whats already been said by some experienced people here.

Not sure which bit you mean. Screenshot and circle it for me?

Nm I read that wrong
I now realize you were talking about removing a second trunk section from a mother plant. Not from the lovely trees presented. Party on CD!
