Hey its never to late to pug it and start over. I know at some point it becomes too painful to do that.
Spaugh is absolutely correct. You can chop it down to knee level around April/May and it will sprout many new branches as long as the tree is healthy.

Hey, since I got 5 grown up cherimoya trees now, I might just do that on 1 or 2!
Got to preserve (transplant) a couple of the favorite scions ahead of time, though...
Never thought of being able to "
redesign" a tree before!
Thanks to a lot of you in this forum...
