Randy, it looks like you pulled off a good "save".
With that great rootbase I think I would make that small branch coming up in front of the "sacrafice" branch my new leader. You don't really NEED to beef up the rootbase anymore.
What height above soil is that branch starting?

Hi Dale
That was an option I've considered. Don't think the overall height of the tree would be too short going that direction? The more I think about it, the better it sounds.
That small branch is 12 inches above the soil line.

This will save you from having to chop them again in the future to get it back into a lower pot. Unless I'm looking at the pic wrong.

It's actually in a pot that has about 2 inches more soil than the dish pan it was originally in. It's a water garden pot. Depth of soil at the moment is about 6 inches. You're probably right, I should have keep it a little more shallow.
