Oh, I (sort of) see now, rechecking your photo. Just two central stems with leaves all along those stems. You can easily air-layer those two stems, perhaps ending up with two rooted plants, 4' tall. You probably will then have branching at those two cut ends. Air-layering took me about 2 wk. in the spring/early summer, 3 wk. in mid to late summer, and perhaps 4 wk. in the fall. All my air-layering was when I was in Starkville and I never attempted to air-layer in the winter. Being in Florida, air-layering may be possible all year 'round.

Here are examples of a few of my air-layered plants after cutting and potting up.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
