Margie, some cuttings taken from the flowering region will become fairly tall, but not like an alley tree. Any time you want to get a tall brug, you must take the cutting from below the first Y. I am not sure about taking cuttings from below the first Y on a plant started from the flowering region, but it seems to me that it should work. I just don't know. I do know that the basal shoots are generally tall and straight and make gorgeous trees. Some of your best trees will come from seed. This picture will show you the difference. All of these are in pots. My DH, Jim, is standing behind the only seedling in the group of brugs and Jim is over six foot tall.
