Default [IBC] "Handle bar" branches???

Michael,

I can't really post a picture of the tree, since there is no tree yet! Just
a bit of a seedling, I believe it's a leptospermum (sp??). The trunk's a
bit smaller than pencil size now, and while I'm not aiming for big trees, I
figured I'd try to do something with it now, before any work leaves too much
traces. :-) I *could* put it on the potensai gallery, though there's
really nothing to look at quite yet :-)

Nic
Wondering what path y'all take when you are faced with a tree that likes
to
throw handle bar branches, or "T", you know, the branches that grow one
accross from the other, and always do. Any particular ideas or
approach?

Can you post a picture of the tree?
