If you do this it wont end up like here , first a year old tree wont look like this , second when you top it new branches will appear but will shoot straight up , not at ideal 45degrees or around .
Nor will you get 1 branch replacing the one you cut , it will be 3-4 .
Due to this , you will end up messing you tree up .Just like i did by fallowing these examples .
Do not top your tree , I did it and i got instead of one leader Trunk , i got 3-4 leaders all growing from same spot , this is bad , looks like a bush more then a tree .And leads to weakness for the trunk will eventually split .
Sure i can cut huge branches off now , but that will hurt the tree and it wont bud .
Do not top you tree let it develop naturally , and you help it to grow how you like it by inducing branch growth with a careful cut of the bark , just above node 1/3 in to the branch .
This will stop the fluids going and you will get a branch where you want it .
And lead other branches so that you make small cuts on the outside bud , and removing buds right udner it , for the first 2-3 buds below the cut will grow str8 up , this is bad .
Remove them while they are buds , rather then twigs or branches .
