Teasing? Or giving a forewarning?

I have left a comment on your YT channel, but regarding this thread;
Are you suggesting that I take the thick cutting path, instead of air layering it?

I think it is a route one could consider if not willing to wait for an airlayer to root.
I am not sure how good successrates are with this. I got 100% rooting but that does not mean everybody gets that. Layering is pretty much fail-proof afaik.

If you want to remove the movement in the lower part get a tree with a straight trunk. It is also not completely to my liking but if the movement is there it is what makes this material special so embrace it or acquire a different tree.
For the rest I would airlayer around the upper blue line.

Humm..
I guess there is a misunderstanding here.
My original question was, - perhaps my fault -, never about if I should or shouldn't keep the lower twisted part of the tree.
I will keep it for sure.
What came up from the thread was the possiblity of either air layering, or trying a thick cutting from the straight top, to get another tree instead of just chopping it down.
My original view on the matter:
Blue line is the chop.

Well, the deed is done.
In three or four months I will take off the layer, and chop down the trunk.

UPDATE N#2
The tree woke up from dormancy, and it seems very happy.
There are two possibilities here;
either the ring formed a bridge and the layer is ruined, or the layer is successful and we will know it by the end of the Spring.
Let's wait and see.

This is normal, the tree canopy is still feeding off the main roots. As long as those are not severed you should be fine. Unless the tree gets unhappy with the top and decides to cut off the water supply...

Yeap, I guess it will be fine!

You may already be well ahead of me here, but play with the planting angle for the lower part of the trunk. You've got a lot of interesting options.

You are absolutely right.
After the air layer is separated, let's play with the twisted stump!

Well....
Just to satisfy the curiosity of my friend Jelle - @leatherback - I have good news.
It has been rooting OK, and will be separated in three or four weeks.
I love getting two trees out of one!
