Ok, I am still not sure I see any Ys. There is a difference between Ys and a side branching which can look like a Y. Where did you say this was from? A seedling or a cutting? If it is a cutting from above the Y it does not need to Y to flower though it will of course with time but it looks to me like a cutting from below the first Y.

Once a brug Ys it then keeps forming Ys on up. The first Y then forms a Y on each side of the Y. They in turn do the same on up, each time multiplying the number of Ys and the flowering wood. I do not see the multiple Ying on up I should see.

Look at this picture. http://www.slmh.net/mysteriousy.htm

Brugs can seem difficult to understand till you live with a few of them a full year, then they are a breeze. 2 years and you are an expert if you grow more than a couple of them. So do not be confused or discouraged.

Are you calling this a Y, marked with a pink ? It looks more like a side branch to me.
