When they are actively growing you can whack these down. You can cut a chunk of olive root from a tree and grow it that is how hardy they are. They love sun and heat. They do not need babied just go for it.

Just an update!
The more i look at it the more unsure i am about the design i had in mind
For now its allowed to grow the repot went well and also some backbudding happened so i cut the long branches back some more because allot of growing was happening at the end of those branches and id rather have it growing in places that will be used eventually!

It has been 2 months since you repotted. Has this been all the growth?
I am not sure about now, but certainly in early spring cut off all that you do not need. It will backbud everywhere. I will look for some of mine and post them, considering we are in effectively the same climatic & solar intensity zone.

You see the similarity with your tree I think? I have since cut it down further. Of course @JudyB was right about going smaller. Will take a pic in the next days and post it up.
