I don't see any potential semicascade using that large trunk. In fact, I'd probably cut the whole thing off above the second tier or at least the third of branches. About the point of your ring finger in post #7.

As the tree develops, the roots system will be brought in, so I wouldn't worry about that left-to right root. It probably won't be around after the root system becomes smaller and more efficient. If you reduce it now, remember that the finer roots do most of the work and the thick parts are really just for anchoring and storing starch. Keep the root system in balance with the foliage and err on the side of too many roots.

Regards,

Matt
