I guess what I could do is cut the branch on the right of the Y per Paradox's photo and then if it doesn't develop as I'd like after another year in the ground I can chop it again? Anyone else have any thoughts? I really appreciate everyones' input!
Yes you can try as I suggested then chop it again. Not sure I would do it in a year though.
I would see how the tree responds and see then. Might be best to wait 2 years, to give it time to get stronger if necessary.
The aim for what I suggested is to try and get another branch lower than the chop on the left trunk that you would then develop as a new leader with a better angle than the existing left branch.
That would still provide movement, but imo, movement that makes more sense than trying to use that left branch.
You might be able to use one of the really small branches that are there now, there is one on the side in your pictures that might work and would be more toward the front I think if you rotate the tree as I suggested.
My thoughts are that you would be aiming for something like this
This branch might be a possible new leader?
