This plant is taking up more and more of my small property. Has multiple growing points. I keep cutting back the trunks to the base and I swear 3 more grow in its place. To add insult to injury, the areas that I successfully hacked back died like they were supposed to and are now home to a nice-size fireant colony - ask me how I found out Grumbling

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make this into a single trunked plant? I know it can be done as I've seen them with one trunk around here, but is it too late once they've put out all those growing points?

Thanks for any advice you want to share.
