Pruning: Apple leader is contorted

9 years ago

I planted this apple tree a few years ago as a pollinator. The central/leader on it has always been contorted and I've never been sure what to do regarding pruning it. It seems especially bad now. I can see damage on the bark in spots where it twists, so assume some external force caused it. What should I do with that leader re pruning?
