Q.Help with my yearling cherry tree

Zone CT9 2SQ | Pagey79 added on July 18, 2019 | Answered

Help I planted a cherry tree a few months ago but the top of the trunk looks top heavy and its bowing awkwardly, there’s been lots of growth in a short amount of time and the new leaves look a lot lighter than the older leaves, should I chop the old leaves? Sorry I’m an absolute novice.
