Branching of carrot is usually associated with excess nitrogen. Don't feed/fertilise the soil prior to planting carrots or during growth. If you havn't fertiised, the soil may naturally have too much nitrogen. Plant carrots last as part of a rotation such as leafy greens followed by fruiting plants followed by root vegetables then fallow to give the soil a break. Fallowing will give the soil time to regenerate available nitrogen and you can start your rotation over again.
