Well,

There was no clear apex, but one spur is a little higher than the others, and 
it had three leaf clusters emerging from it, and one of those had grown about 
half an inch. So I plucked off the other two clusters, in the hopes that one 
decides its the apex and grows a bit more.

I also trimmed off the top of one twig, just above a bud. Maybe it will 
sprout?

I left the rest of the tree alone. I’ll give it a bit more fertilizer and 
remove some of the weeds at it’s base, as well.
