Recreating apex in young trees was created by BigBarkBarry

I have a couple of nice little 名媛直播 starters (Dwarf Cherry, Dwarf Jade) I received from a garden center without any training. The plants are likely 2-3 year old cuttings about 6" in height. I looks like the suppliers cut the apexes so that there are were two equal sized apexes growing about 3" from the top.

I am trying to bring the trunk back into a single-tapered form so I have either removed or wired the second apex but now I am left with a thick knob/fork. Will these trunks eventually thicken up to hide some of this? I was planning on trying to shear these forks into a single cut once the tree has recovered a bit. Is there some better techniques for bringing trident-shaped forks back into single tapered trunks? Attached are some pictures.

The jade will drop that stump by itself given time.

On the cherry you need to go in an clean it up with a knob cutter the year after removing the branches.

Are you aware that cherry trees are teperate decidious trees that needs to be outdoor at all times?
