Hi everyone!

Very new to indoor plant growing here! My little FLF was the first plant I bought, and I bought this one specifically because it already had a branch. I didn't know anything about plants at the time, and now I fear that this branch (which is like 5-6 inches from the soil) will prevent the tree from growing a long, strong trunk.

I had a great summer of growth, with 5-6 new leaves, and my FLF is now about 2-2.5 feet tall, but the main part of the trunk at the bottom, while thicker, is still about the same length.

Will this plant ever be a tall tree? Or will it be destined to have a short, stocky trunk with two branches? What would you do?
