Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comThe locals say it’s a bad idea to cut back a jacaranda, but our attempts to prevent it from only growing into the sun, away from our neighbour’s olive tree, have not been successful.
We are not very expert gardeners, particularly not concerning jacarandas & would appreciate any suggestions you may have
I attach 4 photos taken this week (November 15th)

You may try to brace the tree, but once it matures from improper pruning it will take an unsafe form.
The problem with topping, forcing branching, or trying to control a tree that is too close to a structure is that is usually leaves the tree unstable, or unbalanced. Ultimately, the answer may be the complete removal of the tree and starting a new one in another spot.
