# Anyone have suggestions on success for pruning back my umbrella tree?…

Anyone have suggestions on success for pruning back my umbrella tree? It’s getting a little too wild for its corner. It’s currently 3 ft from base to the top of the trunk where the highest leaf pops out.

I notice its leaning to one side. I would turn it a half or a 4th turn every time you water to get the stem straight.

How'd you grow it so tall? And how old is it?
