Discarding Air Layered Branch

Hello Friends,

This year in June, I had air-layered a branch of Pyracantha in my garden. It has been successful with lots of roots. So far so good.

However I had a change of mind and I want to give the whole bush a tree shape. The branch that I air-layered is quite central to the shape I am contemplating and so I now need to retain that branch.

So my question is: Will there be any problem if I were to just cut-off the new roots and leave the original branch as it was. Will that kill the branch?

Thanks.

How should I care for my Pyracantha "red cushion" bonsai tree ...
A few days ago, I received a Pyracantha bonsai tree as a gift. The labeling says it is an outdoor bonsai, but the conditions outdoors in some parts of the country/world are a lot different than the conditions outdoors in other parts of the country/world! Also, the tree is apparently supposed to have berries now (in the fall), but it doesn't.

Air-layering. Air-layering is a similar to ground-layering except that it utilizes branches that are growing off the ground and so the injured bark/rooting point has to be encased with growing media wrapped in polythene (or similar).

@Nishant It will probably be alright, but it will always look a bit odd where it developed to produce roots.
