small-leaved linden

It wasn't a serious answer either.

you could also just shorten the branches instead of removing them

Right, but there are huge branches on the above half of the tree. Apart from the practical aspect it just looks strange for those tiny branches on the bottom third to shoot off from the trunk.

If you have the space, let the little leaf linden branches grow. They will grow back down to the ground, root, and grow back up and out. There is a very old example of this at Jefferson's Monticello - see

My gosh, how wonderful! ??? :O

A good thing you showed me that because there are bigger branches just a bit higher up, and while I didn't really considered cutting them (for practical reasons not the least) now I know I definitely won't, ever!

Do you know how to determine/approximate the age of the tree? My tree, I mean?
