keep it Smile
plant it in a large pot, with some fine root selection. in a year or two you'll have a decent nebari, and it will give enough time to your tree to build some branches. (btw, select the primary branch that you'll use for the "trunk" right now, and cut the branches that start from the base)
when waiting for the nebari to improve, you can work this deadwood part (hammer & old screwdriver (wood scissors are too sharp) are your best tools, the idea is to break this wood structure open, to let water and sun work this dead wood. after a few years of aging, you'll work it again with more appropriate tool (wire brush, dremel...)
in 5 years you could get a decent tree Smile
