Last spring, I transplanted an apple tree and a black cherry tree into my backyard.
The cherry tree died out from transplant shock but then eventually sprouted fresh leaves and now there's 2 leaders growing in a V shape from the bottom.
The apple tree continued to thrive but looks like a clusterfuck with 4 or 5 leaders all originating from the bottom. It does have 1 that is obviously thicker than the rest but I wanted to know if I should be actively pruning both trees to only have 1 leader or can I leave them be?
