Sugar Belle Flush and Pruning Advice

[hewholooks]

I planted a Sugar Belle at the end of January this year and it was as big around as a pencil and had about 12 sad looking leaves on it.  Since then, it has flushed one minor time producing a couple new limbs, and two major times.  The first major flush produced 2-4 new branches at each flush point, and the second major flush at the beginning of July has produced from 4 to 7 branches at each point.  I'm not complaining, mind you, but if this pattern keeps up, who knows how many branches will flush next. Obviously I'm gonna have to prune some of this stuff back some day.  How should I deal with all these branches?  Is there a pattern I should follow for optimal results?

The little tree just after planting:



The tree now:




Multiple branches at flush point - I think there are seven:

At  the present stage of growth I would leave the tree alone.

Let it grow as big and as fast as you can. Don't prune anything unless its a root sucker.

Thanks for the advice. This is only my second citrus and my Meyer lemon didn't grow like this, so I was curious.  I didn't plan on pruning it now, but I wonder how I'll deal with all this growth when it's time to prune and shape.  I'd like to eventually keep the tree to a manageable size.
