"Ian" expounded:

It is only about 2 feet, maybe getting on 3 feet, in size.

Do I just cut back the branches, or do I want to cut the stocks (trunk,
whatever it is called)

Don't cut anything until you see where it's going to resprout. Then,
cut just above those points. They are slow to sprout, be patient.
