Hallo!
Ich bin gerade in ein neues Haus gezogen und versuche langsam, einen sehr ungeliebten Garten wiederherzustellen. Nach vielen Erfolgen, bei denen ich die meisten meiner Pflanzen ausgegraben, transportiert und neu gepflanzt habe, bin ich ratlos, was ich mit diesem Baum im Charlie Brown-Stil machen soll. Ich möchte ihn entfernen, aber meinem Partner gefällt er sehr gut! Wie schaffe ich es, dass die andere Seite wächst? Würden Sie ihn entfernen oder weiter versuchen, ihn wachsen zu lassen? Wie Sie vielleicht sehen, habe ich heute den Bereich hinter dem Baum umgegraben, um eventuell ein weiteres Beet daraus zu machen, wenn der Boden nicht mehr steinhart ist!

I’d dig it out and put it the green waste personally. All plants in smaller gardens need to pay their way and you need to be a bit ruthless. Either that or maybe dig it up and plant it nearer the fence with the bare bit to the back.
Looks like some sort of pine, in which case the bare bit will be bare for good. I’d be tempted to either even out the other side and begin to topiary it so it looks like some kind of lollipop on a stick or haul it into a big container and bansaii it
There are two stems there so not sure what’s going on. If you’re keeping it, prune it at the stem(s) till it’s in balance and then let it grow a bit before you shape it.
Put it on Facebook marketplace and a bonsai fan will dig it out for you.
I would dig it out and have a good go at bonsai.
I would keep it. My reasons, winter is long and the garden can look Spartan and having some evergreen especially a slow growing pine with beautiful needle structure is really rather lovely especially when dusted with snow or hard frost. So I like to have some structure and interest all year round. I would give it a year and if you really don’t like it after that, then call the Bonsai folk. But for now… learn to love its steady one sided green growth.
There are 2 stems, difficult to tell what greenery is coming from which stem. Cutting off the smaller one on the right may even up the tree? One of them should go if both are still alive. Also this size tree is still small enough to be transplanted somewhere more suitable.
Dig it out and put in a big pot. Then topiary it.
If you leave it, it will eventually get huge, if you prune it too hard you will have brown patches. It is unlikely to ever completely regrow on the bald side, so all things considered I’d put something better (nice flowering scented evergreen shrub?) in its place.
