Sure you can, jut remember to bring up a new branch as
a new leader and shorten the remaining branches so
that they are in scale to the composition.

In my experience birch tend to bleed at large wounds
if you don't repot/cut roots at t he same time. You
may consider using cut paste on you cuts as an aid.
