Horizontal T

Start with a belgian fence that still has a central leader. Lowering the arms of the V to a horizontal position and tying onto the bottom wire (usually fall of first year) creates a stepover. If the stepover still has a center stem, train it to the second wire and the resulting paired branches finally lowered and tied to the top wire (usually in fall of the second year) creates a Horizontal T. After the structural training is over I am always training fruit spurs by cutting back branches that dont fit the design to 3 leaves at first then 2 leaves.
