Sorry I didn't see this before now.......I would leave it alone. Any of the branches cut off would make it look "butchered", in my opinion. Like Zeke said - without seeing it from all sides, it's hard to give a proper opinion - but based on that one photo - yeah - leave her alone.

FWIW - the 2 most misunderstood and most often neglected areas of landscape maintenance are 1) pruning and 2) fertilization.

I see a lot of butchered trees and shrubs. Some of this because the wrong plant or tree was used in a particular location. It's a common mistake. I've made the mistake myself. Hibiscus is a good example. They actually get quite huge. But they are so pretty the temptation is to use them near the house - especially near a walk or drive (or patio). next thing you know you have to prune them back. Then you prune off blooms - which are what you want them for in the first place. Big taboo there....so best thing is to plant them out away from everything so they can grow out and be full of blooms.

If you wanted to dress things up there you could always create a small (3' diameter) bed around the tree for annuals.

HTH Steve.
