    ...ok, i hope i dont have to cut back to far :/.
    Should i cut it back until it's flat to the first live branch? or should i cut it back to a slant on the opposite side.

    \
    ..\
    ....\_ < cut it level to first live branch like this or instead of flat, should i give it a slant cut like this \ instead of this _?

    animefangz, you're starting to crack me up. You & your weed of a birch tree, I'm starting to think it's the last one on earth.

    Cut that little #### of a stub you left just above the the live branch, using the same angle as the branch as a guide.
