Hi Pup, hi Paul,

okay, I understand your point now. I understood at first that you wanted to create a gap in the centre rather than just reduing the overall density. With the latter I agree. If I clear it out it a bit it will help back budding and allow me to have more growth from the inside.

Ultimately though I think the most dense branching should be in the periphery - where it is now. It seems more natural to me than to say it should be below the foliage line (not 100% sure though what you mean by that). After all the branches in the periphery should also be smaller than those centrally so I would need more of them there...
