Hey guys! I’ve reached a point where I’m not sure what step is next for my Portulacaria Afra bonsai.I’ve drawn a line on the photo where I’m considering making a cut. I feel like the tree is a bit "top-heavy" and I want to bring the balance back down.
  1. Does this look like a good spot to chop?
  2. If I leave it, how would you recommend I balance it out instead?
I have attached some photos of the tree currently overall, and one with the red line where I am thinking about chopping that part off.
I'm still learning, so any critiques or "virtual chops" are more than welcome!

I would rather correct the funny angle than performing a big cut.

If a big cut is prefered, I would cut by the first Y, not the second.

But as always: it is your tree, any decitions made is to support your vision for the tree and you are the only one that has been looking on it in real life.
