I think I can get brave and cut this branch off if you say so. It is sort of split almost in a perfect "Y". Would it make a nicer tree if I trim off the right side and get the left branch to grow up straighter? This is a NOID Orange that hasn't bloomed for me in 3 years. I won't mind having two. The rake in the pic is to give you an idea of how tall it is. And its it time for a bigger pot??

If you intend to have a single stem plant then yes, cut off one, but make sure to cut it all the way flush with the main stem or it will regrow there.
And yes, bigger pot and more soil, please!
Thanks, Hetty. My fear is that this plant will continue to spread wider apart as it has and then break as it gets heavier. I have tied it up before. Do I have other options?

Thanks, again, Hetty. You are a wealth of information! I will leave it be leaving well enough alone. However, I still worry that the weight of it will cause it to split especially when one day (I hope) it branches out. What do you suggest I do about that? Stakes?
