Doc Bud on topping - Masonman's Hi-Brix Jock Horror 2016

Here's my logic for topping:

1. Do not top or prune unless we're leaving 5-7 bladed leaves on the remaining tops. Wait until that's the case before topping.
2. Top the main stem so that 3-5 branches with 5-7 bladed leaves remain under the top.
3. clean up lower branches to achieve #2 as necessary.

If you post a few pics from the side I can help you choose a spot.
