White Flowering Dogwood Pruning Question

Amber16820
10 years ago

I believe this is a white flowering dogwood tree. I just moved into this home and am beginning to landscape. I live in Ohio. Truthfully, I'm not even sure if I should keep this tree. It is very close to the garage as you can see and the branches are all fighting for the light. If you can tell on the left side one of the branches has actually grown into another branch at the top. My questions are: Is this tree worth keeping due to it's circumstances and bad placement? If so, how do I go about pruning it? I have no clue if I should leave the two branches that have grown together or try cutting one off or both? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
