yes, it will direct energy to blooms, and also will help you sculpt the tree.
I like to be able to see the surrounding area of the tree. The method can help the tree grow tall or however you want. Choose and pick the y's where the buds form.
If you notice the lower branch in this picture, it is devoid of leaves at the beginning of the branch, but full of buds at the end. Had I let all the leaves grow, it would have taken longer, with probably fewer blooms. Matter of fact there are alot of large leaves left on the one in that picture that I would remove now a days. Also all along the main trunk there are dozens of new nubs trying to grow into branches.. I take my hand and scoop them off, leaving a few to grow into larger branches.
