Hello, all. First time to post.

My American Sycamore tree has always leaned slightly towards the house. I’d like to give it a good trim, but I’m not sure what should stay or go. It splits into two main trunks (competing leads?) at about 6 feet high. Should I cut off that second large vertical branch?

I’ve attached a couple of views, highlighting the large branches in question. Thanks for any help. ☀️

    Any pruning on this should probably be done by a climber, reducing that competing leader would be smart, but hard to get a good cut, and not have it smash the fence without being in it.

    I’d say a bird crapped that out from sitting on the fence. Weed tree, cut it down
