@dsomers19 - Your plant is a Schefflera actinophylla, not a Money Tree. The stems can be pruned back to any length so that it better suits the space. Usually, new growth will then emerge starting on the stem just below the pruning cut. However, with really old plants, the new growth doesn't always emerge. But pruning the stems is your only option for reducing its size.
