How would you style this tree ?

What style should I go for in regards to this tree

Would the circling roots be a problem ?

 

[Shibui]

The tree seems to be informal upright style. You can change it to anything you like if you cut enough off.
The tree doesn't care about circling roots so they are only a problem if you don't like the look or want to show it where others might not like the look.

If you want to change the roots you may be able to relocate some at repotting time if you are brave enough to properly bare root it. Some may need to be removed to allow others to be moved or to allow new roots to grow to replace them.

Almost anything can be changed given enough time, effort and experience.

you could incline it to the left side (45° inclination) to get a "zig zag" trunk line ->


the trunk lacks of tapper, but with sacrifice branches that you let grow, the tapper will increase in principle, year after year..

Are you keeping this tree inside?

I don’t really like how they look so I guess I’ll try to move or remove them next time I’m repotting
