1st styling complete. A second trunk exists at the rear which I’ve wrapped around to the front and added to left apical region.

Now to grow 2nd and 3rd branching for a while.

 

[Applicative]

I always want to cut the main curving top on these, right where it splits to the right off the main trunk, about 2 top branches in then cut. to me the scale of the horizontal is always way too large, but obviously that's how they tend to grow.

is there a particular goal in mind for this tree?

Depending on the pliability of the lateral growing main trunk(s), they can often be bent to create an informal upright style, or selectively pruned away to change the ascending trunk movement while a new leader is wired upward:





The tree in this post will become more vertical and less lateral:
