Multistem Serviceberry

Hello, At the end of March, I planted 2-3' Amelanchier alnifolia saplings. The buds were breaking when I planted them.

I want to prune them into multistem trees. At what age and season is the right time to prune them.

Should I wait a year before pruning them?

At what height should they be pruned to encourage multiple branches to emerge?

Thanks much for your help! Doug
