What to do!

I have this communis equally.
I find difficult what I can do.
My idea was to make him loose of the long branch and the foliage back to trunk.
difficult tree and this intervention will not without risks.
Or are there better ideas here.

Sorry for my bad English.

it is impossible to bend the dead wood, it is possible to split and separate living vein trunk, wiring, raffia, and closer to the trunk , virtual tree, congratulations, amazing tree

Picture 2 is the best front. Four could also be made to work. abcd is correct that the only thing you can work on without damaging the tree is the "top." I suppose you could reduce the deadwood (which is almost overwhelming) but it would have to be done with great care and skill. I certainly would be unable to do it.

Hi Jeffrey,
I agree with Jim that picture two provides the best front. I think larger foliage areas would enhance this tree. Short of performing "Kimura techniques" of separating the live from the deadwood, let it grow more to establish more length, depth and density in the foliage masses. Certainly this tree will become more stunning with time. I am already stunned with its beauty!
Best,
Todd

You have to make a choice, showing all the dead wood at the first time or create mystery with only a part off dead wood on the front face .
I think that separating the living vein trunk is more easy with the dead wood on the back face.

Hello Jeffry,
I think the dance of this tree would benefit in the future from a round pot.
Abcd's suggestion seems a plausible idea to me.
Maybe a workshop somewhere to get along with the styling?

Very nice material! Congrats, Jeffry! You asked me for a virtual, this is what I see:





Best,

Thanks dorothyfor the virtual, an other idea :

Dorothy & ABCD thanks for virts.
I'm going to see both at risk.
Go iron wire bending along the vein of sap what dead wood.
See where the most resistance is.

Thanks

Good luck Jeffrey! I thinned the wood a bit, so the tree looks lighter:

Oustanding virts Dorothy, wow. I like the last one a lot.

I am there anyway to started.
Hopefully it is an improvement.

Regards, Jeffrey

Sorry for the pictures wrong side
