Thanks for the advice Ingrid.
Travis, if you think it's too late would you suggest I just
leave
it as is?

It doesn't have to be a quick fix, we aren't moving for at
least 10
years.

If you had pruned out the smaller of the branches when the tree
was very young the remaining branch would have become the central
leader.

As is the tree is prone to split at the "Y". I would still take
out the smaller branch and hope for the best.
