I dug this tree in 2016, left it about 3 feet tall. It grew well last year but all the new growth was at the top so last fall I cut it back to roughly a foot. It was still too tall so I took off a few more inches today but the big straight trunk still looks terrible. Do you think a large chop would be the best course to take? I really don't see it ever being decent with such a straight trunkline. If I do take off the large trunk, what should I do with the one that is left? The main straight trunk is about 1 1/2 wide, just seems like such a big would to make but I know apples are tough.
Oh, I suppose the sucker should come off too?
