Hi, any suggestion on how to set it up?
I would cut where i put the red sign, because the ramification on the top is too strong and i would use younger ones.
WDYT?

Looks like you have removed quite a lot allready. I would suggest to stop right there. Let it recover for a year and meanwhile study the tree and make a long term plan.

Hmm, maybe considering cutting the extension of the trunk before so it can heal nice there?

It is rally Hard to see on the photo, but this is what I think.

Follow the trunk from the pot. The heavy bransch to the right is the new leader and the old trunk has at one time been cut above it. Is that right?

In that case those few cm above the new leader/trunk is doing nothing. It needs to be cut flush giving the tree a chance to heal in a natural looking way.

If the cut was done recently by you, you ned to finalize that work. If it was done before you got the tree and has starten to heal I would concider waiting to do it in the future. I would not want stress the tree more at this point. But that is just me, others may think different.

It seems like the trunk was cut before you got it. Then nothing to do at this stage. Just let your tree recover and start planning for next step in a year.
