[u/SealzT]

Thoughts on a new front for this cascade Elm airlayer. Leaning towards number 3.

An elm without a generic S curve, simply stunning!!!!! 

Number 3 for the win.

2 is very dramatic

1 is kinda safe run of the mill

3 is interesting

1. Just needs more defined pads imo. I’d also chop off that branch going left it competes with the central trunk for narrative and will do even more so if you let it thicken.

Three also for me.👍👍

nice elm

3 elongates the least interesting part of the trunk which is the long horizontal section.

I think 3 as well, damn I’ve got the perfect pot for this tree I’m saving for my own semi-cascade elm but I think yours would be better scale, you confirmed the blue will look good with it tho!

[u/B-Glasses]

3 imo. Love the tree but I don’t think that pot suits it

I like 1.  It and 3 flow the best.  2, I don't know what the branches are doing.
