I acquired this JBP sapling this spring and have let it grow unimpeded. This fall I figured I should shoot select. I was planning on letting the tallest shoot run as a sacrifice branch. Then figured I would leave 2 smaller shoots. One as the “first branch” and the other as the future apex. I would likely have to wire those two smaller shoots as everything is growing essentially straight up. Does that sound like a reasonable plan?
