Pavel, in my opinion the lowest left branch must be removed. If You do this, You'll have a ballanced triangle-shape crown.

While I agree the left lowest branch should go, I'm gonna disagree with the reason. I can't imagine why anyone would want a tree with a "balanced" triangle canopy. There's no tension or interest in "balance."

The branch should go because it is awkward with that sudden bend off a very straight, fat almost-trunk branch.

Lovely tree. How long has it been since collection? I have read that these can be hard to keep alive after collection.

Jim, I meant the balance between a movement of the trunk and a crown. My fault, my english...

Hi Adam.
The left branch is in the bottom composition at the back of the tree. After removal would be a problem with unbalanced inner space.

Hi Jim.
Thank you for your compliment.
Left lower branch provokes and provides food for thought. Therefore, there remains.
Juniper has been shaped by three letech.Ano with juniper is a problem, but should be collected at sites with healthy trees. I must look. I wrote about it in the first issue Juniperus communis.
