At first I couldn't figure why you quoted me with the pics! (appreciated!
)
Possibly this?
What I meant was, I would like to see you get your whole tree design, inside the area bare of foliage now.

That's why....
In regards to worrying about the bar branches....And keeping them for energy.
If anything, keep em to practice bending that wire!
I don't I.ow if you would have to graft this....(argh
for me!)
But those trunks DO do something interesting.....
Way more interesting the pics of the base....Lotta design options IMO.
Lotta good opportunity for crazy live vein and dead wood interest. Different!
I'm not the guy to say how or when....
@markyscott has a wicked grafting project.....
And others can help better....
I just LOVE these trunks!
Very interesting interplay!
Keep it healthy!
