I would wait several years before layering it off. By
leaving it in the ground the new apex will thicken and
blend into the stump a lot faster. Unless you plan to put
the layered top back into the ground (which I doubt.) If
you move it into a pot, it will be a long time before the
fact that it was trunk choped stops being obvious.
