If it were me, I'd remove those left close to the graft point, too. They will serve no purpose there. If they were to fruit, they'd below enough to the ground to be within easy vermin reach and heavy that fruit likely would be on the ground. I'm no expert, but that's what I've done with my trees. Also not sure how tall the plan is for them, so this may not even apply, given how young that sapling looks.
You should propagate the off-shoots to see what they grow in to.
Great information
I did this today!! Thanks!!
If the plant was more established I would be tempted to let a rootstock offshoot develop to see what it makes.
…that was a lot of agression…
Are the lower off shoots potentially not the same as the "parent"plant?
Interesting! Thank you for the information.
Wait if you propagate can they actually turn useful and stop being the middle child
“we prune them…*chop*…without…*chop*…MERCY!”
What if you have a hard time telling where the graft point is?
How are you able to know where is the graft point? I mean, is very clear there, but what if I'm growing from seed?

You actually don't want even those above the graft if they are below the existing branches
