This will of course make your tree look spindly. So you may consider a trunk chop, and begin growing some new branches.

I have no idea how well this species will back-bud, you would be advised to gather as much info on this tree as possible before beginning any restyling.

Hi MattO,

thanks for your advice. I did consider another trunk chop, but my inexperience (and impatience) makes me reluctant to be that drastic. New growth did emerge where i cut the trunk to get this tree, so it should be alright.

Cheers
