Right, my first choice if single trunk.

Left is the only one with nothing on one side, possible removal.

OK movement in the middle trunk, if its kept, the canopy would start pretty high on it.

cuz the first thick branch would probably have to go. its kinda taperless and blocky, too different to "trunk" to big to "branch".

LOL, I thought that Shimp was a big tree until you had your hand next to it. I like it especially the base. How do you plan to style?

When will you style? I like the pot and tree looks great and healthy.

Still!

every day...

Lol!

I'm trying to eliminate everything that I won't use first.

Thinking that left branch is going to come off this year, but when I look at what will probably die in the roots when that's gone a think about grafting a bridge over that shari to ensure that part stays alive, since it will serve a purpose.

I went and cut it up some.

I will probably start to do a better job of removing opposite branches and general, "clean up", but I lack enough understanding of these still to "trust" them. So I keep hesitating.
