Ayers pear funky start - what to remove?

@Andrewz

I would remove the start of purple and green and keep red but stake it to straighten it up. Red is the dominant trunk and will grow quickly. The pear tree chose red but that doesnt mean i like that it did that. That would be your best bet. The red branch can easily be shaped because it is new growth it will be willow like. Take a look how i prune when im grafting it will be helpful. I do prune small pears but not to control height.
