Yeah the one really thick branch in the top left of the Apex really draws my eyes to look at it. But I still like the tree

Truly a natural beauty! Thanks for sharing.
How has your experience been with Sharp's Pygmy healing larger scars? I did not notice any from the photo.
I haven’t owned this tree very long, I purchased it in June at the Shohin show. It has scars. They’re healing. They’ll heal slowly, unfortunately, because I’m not going to let it “go”. I’ll be pinching to build ramification next spring, which limits growth. And that also limits callousing over. Fortunately, the scars it does have aren’t huge.

I love that tree but am troubled by the second branch on the right that has the 90 degree bend. I have an Elm with a similar branch. Are you going to leave it or change it in the future.
It doesn’t have a 90 degree bend. It goes out to the back. It’s an effect the camera makes.

Good, because I really like that tree.

Better get rid of that branch up top left before you start building off it, and then discover you can't stand it in 5 years. LOL... Not that I've ever had that happen.... noooo, not me.
It has some good bones.

I have that problem too, with whatever camera I use....

My 2 cents here would be to remove the branch as shown in the picture
That’s a possibility. As well as cutting back the heavy one higher up on the left.

Definitely that is what would do if this is my tree. It very hard to give suggestions if you don't see the tree in person.
