Fig Tree No Coke Can

hi every buddy

i for got my coke can sorry. a coke can placed next to the trunk would reach the bottom of the lowest branch.

I have blanked out the background in case anyone wants to virtual (hint hint, nudge slap). The bottom branches have been left to grow long to thicken them up. the top ones kepts short so that they dont take over, but now i want to start to style this tree and get it into a training pot. Oh its a port jackson fig

Ok - so here are the questions

I know the branches have little taper but i will shorten and regrow them for ramifiaction anyway. Do i cut off the very bottom one - or leave it? (see my quick virtuals below)

in my virtuals - i have added a mallsai blue pot (you know who you are ) but it will be going into a training box. do you think the tree is too tall?

Any other comments would be appriciated too... and it does actually have back branches - they just dont show up too well in this pic

cheers
