Sugar apple seedlings- to pinch or not to pinch?

Should I pinch some of the new growth off? My other seedlings have as much as 20 new growth.
Any input is deeply appreciated. Thank you!

No need to pinch, the seedling is branching out nicely already. But it looks chlorotic, might need more zinc and iron.

If you don't mind that tree looking like a fan, leave them.
If you like many small branches rather than a few big branches, leave them.
I pinched mine and left only 2 .
