That's a real beauty. I would love for my tree to look similar to that one day.
I had thought about taking off the thick lower branch because it's only about 2 inches from the bottom (the tree is about 10 inches high), but I forgot about its use for thickening the trunk. Stupidly I was thinking about what the tree would look like now, rather than in a few years' time.
After reading your post, I think it might be best just to repot and wire the tree and keep all the branches for now. Should I shorten all the branches, or only the top ones?
