Well,from what I remember of Peter cundals on Gardening Australias, you
basically brought the single main stem up a coupleof eet fron the ground,
then branched it. he was doing a cup frame, to open the middle for
sunlight (or was that other fruit.
Usually if you do a fan and want it flat you tie/stake it to a flat
serface or tellis to train it.
