future problem with young redbud?

[shagbark hickory]

Hi all- I'm new to this forum and look forward to learning. Quick question, I planted a burgundy heart redbud a few years ago. It is growing well, but I am concerned about the lack of space between two branches right off the trunk (please see picture). As the branches grow in diameter, is my only option to- eventually- prune away the branch on the left side of the pic? That branch is currently a huge part of the tree. Are there other options to correct? Thanks!

The recommendation for your situation would be a dymanic support system.

thanks so much! It is still a pretty young tree so I assume I wait until it is more mature?

Dymanic systems are best suited for young trees like yours. As the tree matures it will become a candidate for a static system.
