Reminds me of a Baobab
when the shoots extend to 3 -4 sets of leaves, Cut back to 2 and the branch will ramify. Develop nice flattish foliage pads by wiring then branches when they lignify.

Did you treat the seeds before planting them? I put mine in boiling water for 10 minutes and let it sit before planting it. The seed took nearly two months to lift its head but then winter struck and has had no movement since
