Hey all. Hoping this is the right place to get advice on trimming my saplings before the Ontario fall. I got them in the ground last year after buying them from a farmer who's goats had gotten to them. So they have some wonk. My sugar maple is about 3 ft ![maple](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/1d9d93ea-d62c-4ec4-9f33-02daac6d133c.webp) and my rowan is about 2ft. ![rowan](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/4dc2bc28-bf11-4f46-b988-a4424bd41da3.webp) I've cut some of some wet shoots. And tied a steak to the rowan after cutting out another main stem. Both trees have had some trouble with Japanese green beetles. I'm conflicted with what else to cut... I know the idea is to prioritize a main stem but I'm not sure how to choose those at this stage. Tia!
