Unless you are going for a formal upright, you might change the planting angle: lay the trunk over at about 30 degrees to the left, remove all of the existing apex and let the new apex become the first branch on the right, which now points directly upwards.

You could even wire that new apex to the right a bit and back to the left. Here is a virtual with just the cuts and planting angle change. There is still a lot of growing to do, but you might as well get some movement in the trunk.

Regards,

Matt
