Pinus mugo (han-kengai) - restyling

Very nice work Pavel. I am also thinking that the cascade branch have to go. Too unnatural looking as it is, and a much more pleasing and convincing tree shown at the virt.

This is how I would like the tree to be if it was in my garden.
Red lines cut.

Little similar as Peter´s choice.
I hope I find another for me again :-)

Why would you cut it there?
Or is it to grow out like Tom's virtual?

Hi Morten, Petr, Tom and Yannick

Thank you all for yours coment. The tree has a new owner, I have consulted with him.
I think that the lower branches can work. Cut it anyway. The project is not over. I hope to finish soon.

Hi Nephew,

I would cut it there if there are some new buds on the branches closer to the trunk, to get a more dense tree, and in my humble opinion more balanced.

I wouldn't do this.

If you cut also the branches where you would do it , the tree doesn't look a natural cascade anymore at my opinion.
Also symmetry in a tree is almost never found in nature(look at the virtual the isosceles triangle).
I would prefer Tom's virtual then by just cutting the big branch cause and asymmetrical or scalene triangle is a "natural" shape.
Therefore we humans appreciate the more natural form ,this not only in bonsai but also compositions as well.
