First year crabs

I planted a Dolgo and a Callaway crab from TWG this year. They were 3’ whips. They have good growth. I caged them up and put screen around the bottom 18” the day of planting. They are branching out a lot inside the screen and the leaves are bunching up.

Did I put the screen up too high?

Should I remove the screen or trim all the growth back? Leave it alone for the first year? Not sure what the best option is.
 
And just like that when you get on the forum 5 minutes after waking up you put the thread in the wrong spot. Sorry about that.
