During winter things have been somewhat dormant.
But anyways, I wanted to return to Olivia and show the progress from "presumed dead" to "sprouting". Photo 1 shows the general view - there is growth from the stem further down, but as you can see in photo 2, above the black line nothing grows.
So, I have a bunch of questions.
1. How do I go about "reducing" the dead part? Just cut it off (large cutter? Saw?) or do I just let it go on growing for another season as it is?
2. Can I already prune some of the lower offshoots? It's pretty hard to see where I want the tree to go at the moment.
3. I'd like to get rid of the pot - too heavy - but I guess I should either prune or repot this season?
