buying at nursery

I know this feeling. I know it so well it brings me remorse. Mike, I really hope you aren't so excited about these that you love them to death. This isn't a race. Take your time.
 
While I wouldn't call this tremendously, stupendously boring, I think you've got the cart in front of the horse here. This stock is almost definitely rooted in heavy clay which will take at least several years to be dealt with. I wouldn't be too concerned about significant styling until the tree is growing well in good soil. Honestly, there's no rush here and you can study the tree for the best trunk line while you transition it to better soil. Who knows, it might actually have a descent nebari under the clay (unlikely but possible) that may dictate the direction the styling should be taken in, and you won't know this until you can see it.

No its not in clay soil at all, quite the opposite , more of Sandy mix.The virt was just something to mess with, the pictures don't do it justice I think it has a lot of potential.
