Three things to do
If you’re small trees are in a training period and you want fatter trunks there are three important things to do to be successful.
Let one branch grow freely for two or more years until the trunk has fattened sufficiently. Keep the other branches trimmed in this period. When the trunk has fattened you can cut off the sacrifice branch.
Remove all flowers as soon as they emerge, to focus on vegetative growth. This will speed the process considerably.
Plant the tree in a colander in a fair draining soil. This will develop a good root system, and the growth of the tree will be stronger. Only repot every third year.
