my redbud tree, which is only been planted within the last year and half

my new redbud tree has only been in the ground, started at about 2 feet high – dug it up in WV and this year it has grown to over 5 feet… has not been in for a blooming season but looks very healthy so far but the top branches are very long which is pulling my tree to one side, can I cut them back to balance it…. thanks so much will be waiting for an answer Beverly at teddibee2@verizon.net
