 There is usually, already an inner crown that you can bring in some of the leaders to match.

 

 

So there is. Nice one, Norway. I've drawn the ellipse a bit small but you'll get it.

Don't hammer it or it will kick off. Sympathetic reduction and that's another £500.00 every two or three years for the books. 
Or hammer it and rinse them until one of you gets bored of the tree.

That’s a columnar or whatever they are called.

Never seen one before, looks good.

If you hammer it it’ll likely croak, they (genuinely) don’t respond well to heavy pruning.

Perhaps the climate makes a difference. I have seen some whoppers up here, they become a mass of vertical epicormic growth.

Leaf colour doesn't look dark enough, to me anyway. History view on Google Maps might show it in flower.

ok thanks for reply - I questioned ID because RHS says nigra is a more rounded form and pissardii upright
