Larix decidua 'puli'....
It's been allowed to do a 180 which is now growing downward. Wondering if I could prune off the main trunk and work with that branch going up. Or should I slowly try to rework the whole thing up? Opinions? Thanks...

You could try either, but it won't be easy for something that's so determined to grow downwards.

Since this plant is supposed to be a weeping variety, you're going to have a tough time with your efforts. Also, any success you may have will likely be met with an awkward looking plant.
