I have a male American Persimmon tree that I'm trying to grow in to a decent shade tree. Unfortunately, frost & june bug damage several years ago caused it to get confused about which branch is the real top. It was starting to form a three branch co-dominate pattern but one of those has emerged as the most dominate. So last year I pruned to favor that branch. Unfortunately, it didn't really grow that one up. It grew it more outwards and started new high sucker branches (not sure that the correct term) off the side of it. But those branches form what could possibly result in a better central leader. So I'm thinking I'll try to train it to prefer on of these

I'll share some pictures now. As always me best attempt at pictures just don't capture the situation well but I've tried to add some marks to make things a little more clear.

In this picture I've marked in red the current most dominate branch. As you can see the top most point of this branch if it were to become the central leader is way off center.

In this picture I've indicated the potential replacement central leader. It is actually the tallest or nearly tallest branch though the angle of the picture causes other branches to look taller but they actually aren't

Arrows indicate the possible replacement central leader.

Here's another showing the branch angle of the potential replacement central leader:

You can see in the pictures the small stubs left from the other poorly attached branches that were removed from around the one's in question. Here are a few other shots of the tree...though they aren't quite as clear

As you can see the shape really isn't great. But this whole ordeal is really high in the young tree. I need at 8ft latter to reach and even then it's a bit of a stretch. Any anomalies further up will just be out of reach and have to be left for nature to just do it's thing. Do you think it's possible to train the shape on this any better than what it current is?
