Trident style suggestions

[Harry0735]

Field grown trident.
cant decide on next steps.
Trunk is about the size of my forearm and has some reverse taper after the trunks split

What are some ideas you all would do? would love to hear some of your point of views

I see trunk chops in the future.

I agree with the trunk chop idea. If I had been growing this the thicker trunk would have been removed a couple of years ago so the cut had some time to start to heal.
My advice: remove the larger trunk (follow the branch collar down at an angle) then chop the smaller one above a convenient shoot or node that will see the new leader hear back toward the side the thick one is now.

Would you bother with an air layer?
Not a whole lot of movement anywhere

No reason not to air layer. You'd turn this piece into two pieces of material.
