Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Need help with Lychee (Litchi chinensis), 1 by artcons

Two years ago I received a Lychee (litchi chinensis) tree from Broward County as part of the "replant Broward" tree giveaway. The lychee has taken nicely, but the way it's growing is causing me concern. The main trunk seems to be growing less then the branches growing off it. The tree is very wide and not very tall. It just doesn't look or seem to be acting right. In the picture the main trunk is slightly to the left of center growing at an angle to center. It's the one with just bark on the right. As you can see, the branches are doing much better than the trunk.
My questions are, first is there any hope to correct this and make it a normal tree? Second question is how to correct this problem?
The next post will have another shot from a different angle.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
