I was hoping these questions would have been fielded from a lot more places and It certainly wasn't a trap,..... Danny boy,... however you seem to have been caught in it for scrutiny at least anyway.... Never fear it is a good thing is it not.
By all accounts the tree does look nice. It is however Lions tailed. This can be justified by photos through whatever means but at the end of the day the initial amount of foliage was apparent.It is not a bad thing please don't dishearten.... I only ask you to scrutinize your own work and if you are happy how may I condemn.... The tree has issues to which you have eluded.
My thoughts would be pruning is not the first course of action this may only place an already stressed tree unit into a further stressful situation. I am thinking that people are wanting clarification by a bracket and a name but stuff 'em .. Next ...ya know stuff it I think you are capable of seeing all of the things here... a far better thing would be for you to explain why you did what you did and see if you change your mind along the way... OR NOT.
