    Check out RHS website as it also gives good guidance on formative pruning for young trees. Some trees need a little coaxing to get into the right shape!!

    What I really would like is for the tree to be more rounded (pic1). Thank you Obelixx, I will probably just leave it for few years for now.
    The tree is just really unbalanced at the moment, lots of branches on the right and short ones on the left. If I would cut those on the right, they will start branching out even more, but how do I actually get the tree growing on the left? Just prune the left side and not touch the right one?
