For context I prefer the droopiness of the first picture and am aiming for that look for ones I plant in my yard. How would I achieve that?

    It’s just the branches sagging from weight as they age and grow longer, look at the top of the droopy older ones and you’ll see the same growth pattern as the upright one.

    Picture 1 is mature trees, picture 2 is young tree, only difference is age

    That’s a great question. As a person with a tree in his yard, I feel I can respond to this with some readiness and alacrity. The droopy ones have lost a loved one recently, maybe through thinning, weather related loss, disease, transplanting, you name it. For perspective, “recently” for a tree means within the past 15 years or so. They mourn this loss by “crying” with their branches and needles. They point downward with the despondency they feel. We have found that they may perhaps become “perky” over time by planting young, energetic friends alongside them, which the psychiatrists all claim is a method of allowing them to overcome their grief by realizing that life perseveres even beyond their friend’s demise/decline. In the meantime, as they grieve, it has been shown that a regular song sung unto them at evening really does a bang up job of lightening their spirits during this lonely time in their life. Respond to us with your results, please, as we take these issues seriously and wish only the best to you and your loved ones.
