Persimmons pruning

8 years ago

I got my 2 persimmons today, Nikita's Gift and Prok.

Nikita's is 45 inches tall from the graft line. It has main leader and 3 side branches which are 15 inches up from the graft. What should I do: should I leave it as it is or should I remove main leader completely and leave those 3 side branches. Should I cut back main leader and if how much down. I intend to grow it in the container.

Prok is just 24 inches tall whip from the graft with no other branches. Let it grow as it is or cut the tip a bit?

Thank you all in advance
