How can we get this shape of plant?

overgrow... but the word is it has been busted and wont be back up.. and if it does come back... it will be a wolf in sheeps clothing.

if you nipp off half the new growth at the highest part it would let the side branches catch up making them all get to the same level, can this can create multiple bud sites?

does cutting the oldest leaves off as you see new growth appeaing at the stem shape the plant?
