Do what Brian and Carrol want.

 

In these cases I normally strip the stem on my way back to the anchor point,take out a wee top and then using a high anchor point reduce the remaining lateral branches before taking care of the stripped stem.

 

Reducing the remaining lateral branches makes for a more rounded shape to the remaining Tree and may also retard the higher branches in their new job as "tops".
