T-Bar Apex

A singular branching line radiates left and right from the center. In contrast, secondary and tertiary branching grows outward/upward along the T-Bar to create the foliar apex (soft domed or pointed depending on the steepness of angles bent down at left/right). 2nd and 3rd branching to fan outward creating hand-like structures that add depth to the apex (sides, front, and back).


2-Branch Apex

Similar to T-Bar, but not bound to a singular and horizontal line bent down in the middle; rather, the branches are stacked (one forming the base of the apex underneath, the other forming the top of the apex from just above the branch below)

Both primary branches at the top are bent downward drastically making a downward and outward slanting, one folded down on top of the other. Both primary branches have secondary branches with proper ramification into tertiaries/foliage as "hand-like" pads.

Three or even four branches can create a 3-D domed apex around the tree (sides, front, and back). Foliage tufts at the ends of 2nd or 3rd branching can be wired directly upward so that small dense tufts of foliage rest directly on top of woody lignified branching uniformly around the tree.
