I'm not sure I had a choice. The plant was basically just air roots and long limbs on the lower part of the tree. There were areas 3 to 4 inches along the trunk where there were no live branches. The 3 lower branches were thick as the trunk just 12 inches above the soil.

At least to me that made it hard to keep any branches on the tree. That's pretty well what decided a short squat plant. Whether it was the best choice, I don't know. I do know I was uncomfortable with the way it looked before I started.
