u/not_gonna_tell_no

I did cut a bunch out about a month ago. I theorize that I should get as much out now that I don’t want so it can put energy into growth I do want and not waste its energy. I have numerous branches growing from the same height and I feel like that should be minimized. Is that right? What other pointers do you have on how to proceed? Thanks!

In my friends yard. Seek tells me its a dicot 🤦🏻‍♂️
