As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?

Current height is around 14 inches tall.

No previous pruning beyond pinching that one tiny leaf to see if anything would happen.
I do want it to start branching at the top, and also thicken up the stem a bit. Preferably before it reaches the top of the cubicle.

Also might get a bigger pot later on and move it off my desk.
