Easily trimmed, but best to remove it.
Self seeded slides grow at a prodigious rate. Once they are over 20ft you will find it hard to get household insurance.
Remember that conifer is competing with the neighbouring tree for light and nutrients in the soil. Wherever you trim it, expect it to grow +- 3 feet next year.
How best to cut this back? Can I just cut the top off?
