I've already done it now. My husband took the chainsaw massacre approach
and now it looks like a trunk with a small cluster of old branches at the
top. Now lets pray for green fronds that come down to the ground. :-)

If its the mulberry I'm thinking of (sorry if I'm ignorant), we've always
hacked the thing back brutally after the leaves have fallen off.
Dad has kept his tree alive for the last 40 plus years by doing this every
winter and each year the spring growth is amazing.
