I planted the tree in a wooden box and immediately in the spring of 94 performed radical pruning. The pictures show the results before and after this operation. as you see, the tree had developed a triple top that was reduced to only one.
I left some unnecessary green twigs in the top to ensure a good sap flow. I do not think this was really needed, but better safe then sorry.
