Sorry for making you wait. I wasn't teasing. After gathering all kinds of ideas from you guys, as LB expected, I ran of into the garden, chopped the tree, wired it, made it grow, repotted it, and made a photo. Next, I had to make up a story about the progression:
The tree was repotted the spring after I acquired it. I said I had two options, but that were actually two options AFTER the initial pruning. I mean - two options I considered. The bonsai master that regularly visits our club, proposed to cut above the first trunk and make it an unusual cascade. A bit too drastic for me, and I did not like the idea, as the trunk would move in the same directton as the foliage.
So, the trunk was chopped for the second time, above the first (highest) branch that I could use for a new top. A month or so later, I decided the remaining trunk was still too long. So, I did the final chop - above a branch that was growing straight from the trunk - so it did not follow the movement of the trunk and was not an ideal choice for a new leader. Still, it was the only option.
The tree was left to grow, then wired, needle selection and plucking, more growth, more wiring... and this is where it is now. Much better than the original tree -but not quite there yet. It needs further development, but I think its on the right track.
