pruning plumeria so it gets taller, NOT wider

Hi, I need advice on how to prune my plumeria. I want it to grow taller, into a tree shape. From articles I've read on the internet, I've found out that pruning will cause branching. At this point, I actually do NOT want more branching, because that would mean it would grow wider and more shrublike. I have a variety that likes to grow wide/branch out to the sides. I have limited space. So my question is, what is the method for pruning it so it will NOT branch off to the side? When would be the best time to prune (dormant/not dormant)?
