Schefflera hitting ceiling-where (how low) to make pruning cuts

8 years ago

My schefflera got too heavy and tall (7.5+ feet on just one section) to move outside for the summer without knocking off leaves in the process. I'd like to be certain about where I can make cuts to regenerate it. It has 2 main trunks, each with secondary branches less than 36" from the floor, but configured tightly like tuning forks. I'm not sure how to correct that or make it somewhat bushier. If I cut down to a leafless area, will the trunk re-sprout or is that a bad practice? Thanks.
