Col de Dame Noir getting bushy

I had a cddn Cutting that i rooted this winter. It is really starting to get some sun and has taken off. In the past few days it has started shooing out growth from the ground despite me not messing with it. Does this variety tend to bush out.

Hard to tell but the plant went from Being a cutting with two branches and then all of the sudden 4 shoots come out of the ground. I assume the variety is mostly to blame as this planted is treated like all of my other Cutting that are more tree like.

I hear an other worldly voice saying, "Air layer me, air layer me now." 

Wow and please share how you got that type of great growth out of a first year cutting? Nice job

I started it indoors from fall 2016 cuttings.  I started getting leaves in mid Jan.  They went outdoors in late April.  Finally started getting long hot days 2 weeks ago and the thing is starting to take off with shoots.  My Black Maderia of the same age is huge but only two main branches off of the trunk.  The two branches on the Black Maderia are very very thick.  I don't know if that is a variety thing or what. 

Kevin, I'm skeptical that the tree you have there is a Col de Dame Noir based on the leaves.  Then again, it is young and the leaves can shift to a different shape.  I'll take a photo of mine and post it here later.

Here are some leaf pics from my CdDN.

Steve. Is my pic of a Violette de Bordeaux? I think I crossed them up. My apologies.

No worries.  Your question is reasonable regardless of variety.  Some varieties put out a lot of suckers and others not so much.

I don't think it is VdB but it could be Longue d'Aout or perhaps Kathleen's Black.  What other varieties are you growing that it could have been mixed up with?
