If you have seen my last post and responded, I really appreciate it. My Fukien tea seem to be bouncing pack strongly, a very valuable lesson going forward.

I am seeking advice for styling now. I've been letting this one free grow for nearly two years with some minor pruning and an attempt at wiring (slight bend in the trunk, trying to do informal upright). I am torn because I don't know whether I need to cut the branch on the right (

There is no right or wrong in bonsai styling. As long as you like it, it is right.

I do not see any use of the second trunk. Especially if you intendent to do informal upright. So pruning it off makes an obvious decition in my opinion. It can be done now or you can leave it a few years to thicken the trunk below it. It all depends on your final vision for the tree.
