What to do with these side branches?

[Cajunrider]

Keep them or prune them off?

Question is what are you going for? I'll bite despite being terrible at this design stuff...Take the bottom left and top right or vise versa to have alternating? Or keep it like it is and have a wacky wind BC.

Usually I chopped off all the side branches and grow new ones so I can train them. These look so funky so I left them alone. Still it is likely that I will chop them off.

These BC grow so fast you almost have to chop the branches off. You sent me a near branch less one & I've cut branches off this summer. Crazy fast growth on BC.

I'd say chop them off, reminds me a bit of a candelabra haha
