unreal.......thanks everyone.

I feel heaps more relaxed now.

spider - I am indebted to you.

I had no idea I would have to prune that branch off later on.

Check that you and spider mean the same branch.

When you said 'should I have planted lower so the branch becomes the
trunk' I took you to mean the branch which is coming out within inches
of the ground and has further branches coming off it higher up. I think
spider means the lowest of the further branches needs to be pruned.

Or it might just be me that is getting confused.
