If it were mine, I would probably chop it back to this point, eliminate that middle branch, and try growing new branches with the clip/grow method described above. This fukien will never grow by much in Albuquerque, unless your growing skills are wayyyy better than mine. Just play around and enjoy it. If you do chop it back, then you might want to root that top above the bulge first, whether as a cutting or air-layer. That might end up being the better material.
Also, this is not "tree of a thousand stars" - that is the serissa foetida. But the flowers are a cool bonus.
