New Tree for the Garden

Thanks @Plantminded That's my understanding as well, and the reason I went for it. I don't want it to look like topiary, but if it can take that, I figured it can take aggressive pruning.

I do think I need to decide whether I have the patience to do what, considering a good result is not guaranteed, or gift it and replace it with something else. I have plenty of time to make a decision. But already I am thinking of some options e.g. I have an enkianthus campanulatus that I could move there but based on some quick research I like sorbus "Glendoick Spire" (and am not opposed to "Autumn Spire"). I do like considering possibilities, so I will take my time with it
