How should I further go on with my Prunus Padus? was created by raffaelbaer

Hey everyone,
So this spring, my little Prunus Padus started to grow enourmusly again, it went from buds to the current state in only 1 or 2 months. So i suppose the growth is quite good. I wanted to ask one or basically two main questions:
What will be my next steps for developing a thicker trunk?
Should i cut back the "branches" every 2-3 months, or should I let it completely let it grow till next year and the cut it, or maybe even dont touch it for at 2-3 years and just let it grow freely...
Also here are some images of the tree, I had cut it back to the current size from when it was twice as tall last year, the total tree age is approximately 1.5 years.
Thanks in advance for your help!

There is a slight risk that you did not prune back low enough, but I would not correct that now. For this year, it is fertilizer, sun and watering. Nothing else. These are fairly young and it needs a fair bit of growing.
