Forgive Me...
But every Part of
FASTER...FURTHER...FUTURE....vision should be taken into account.
Faster....
Untouched growth except for the first branch which can be set to a "proper start".
Further....
If you wire movement into that trunk it will still lack taper. Or you can grow taper. But we cut back to small, why not grow movement, and taper, and do what we do?

With every bit of the top to power you into a small pot....you can have this tree potted and the bones set to a "proper start" this summer ...

Which is really just a mindset that understands every tree has a readable past, which can be utilized to clearly see into the future.
I imagine the tiny final tree as an empty cup.
And the sacrifice as a full cup.
As long as the amount of liquid remains the same, your tree will not die.
The objective is to slowly fill the empty cup and empty the full cup.
From Cup to Cup there is a filter that makes Ugly Beautiful.
