Caesalpinia mexicana (Mexican Bird of Paradise - Yellow)

Hello - I have several Caesalpinia mexicana plants, which are the yellow mexican bird of paradise. This variety can be trained to a tree form, but I don't understand how to do that. The plants I have are a year old and range in size from 3 to 5 feet. They all have multiple trunks and some of them are tall and narrow without many branches. I read that they can be trained into a single trunk tree so does that mean I need to remove the additional trunks? I have searched the internet endlessly but haven't been able to find the information I need. Any suggestions on how to prune them would be much appreciated.
