Simple solution is keep the central erect one and remove the others, but why?

Arif Sb, for a stronger and healthy fruit, making a tree with one stem is advised by experts usually. Even for pomegranate which I have planted, I have cut all the branches upto 2 ft height to make it a tree and not a bush. Same I have done with my guavas rather all fruit trees. I have seen good results though as with one stem, the upper branches becomes more strong and give good fruit.
For one tree, I selected the most healthy stem and more straight one, and then cut all the remaining.
