i think we're in the same boat ty. i just trunk chopped three of my lanky ficus, i call them my three blind mice now... but what i'm doing is pinching back the growth to back bud. after 2 or three(whichever is in the right direction) new leaves appear i pinch the tip off causing ramification and backbudding. you can always pick which to keep later. the only budding i might remove would be where the branch meets the trunk or where three or more diverge from one point. this usually causes swelling and taper problems.
