Suggestion..... Find the smallest tree in the tree.

Agree with B4E - the base of the tree is thick, strong and has movement - and it's even got shoots! Read the tutorials, cut the top hard, cut the roots back to match, and give it considerate aftercare. The only use for long thin branches is to thicken the trunk - off they go!
