Fig pruning experiment

The objective of the fig training is too create 3 laterals I think that is called a vase structure. The experiment is that I cut the 3 inches from 1 of the 2 laterals on the fig tree. I want to compare the subsequent growth. I am assuming that the branch that I cut will have more growth and branching below it. And that the branch that I did not cut will grow taller with less branching. I also cut a notch just below the crotch above a bud that is in a good position to form the third branch of this they fan structure.
