When it got about three feet high I pinched the tip, which forced a bunch of lateral buds to start growing, I let four or five branches at the top grow as they pleased, and just kept all the other buds and suckers pulled. That pic was from a year or two ago, I've got a new pic from a different angle. The tallest branches are about 10-12 feet, and the trunk is almost five inches across. I cut all the branches back to about 3 feet every winter.
