Which branches to remove in this podocarpus

[maroun.c]

Trying to style this podocarpus. Trimmed many leaves to decrease the pompom look it had. Looking at these multiple branches emerging at same level and already causing a swelling and can't decide which ones to remove. One large branch had been removed before on the backnat same level.

Any advice?

Really nice tree. To begin; remove 3rd branch from bottom on left of picture. Three branches one level at least one must go. Also while still green use branch to test flexibility of tree for wiring reference.
