How big is the container and the tree?

I would be tempted to chop, wait a couple years and then layer.

The reason for chopping first would be to take advantage of all that root mass you've already developed. It's like having the plant on steroids and it should push buds and branches more quickly.

I wouldn't say that definitively unless I saw the plant first.

Good luck,

Matt
