Mesquite Pruning Advice

Here is a link of a wider photo of the tree, unfortunately I could only upload one photo here. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/396527942162604101/

I'd say the tree is about 11 months old. Originally I thought it was a weed and i pulled it, it then grew back like wild fire. It has a great structure in the center as you can see in the photos and would look great if pruned correctly. My question is, should I only prune the branches almost touching the ground for now since it is young? Id like it to grow taller an need advice on proper pruning technique. Also it has many shoots growing out of the ground, with one big one about 5 or 6 inches in the center that only reaches about a half foot tall, will this trunk grow taller as is matures? I am a beginner and just discovered my passion for growing and gardening so any advice helps. Thx
