We have an apple tree with a few main stems and a few suckers (soon to go).
My aim is to make the tree fan shaped, with only one stem and a darn sight
less branches than now.
My problem I have never pruned an apple before. Any advise other than ground
levelling is welcome & sought.

Try the Gardening Australia website. Which reminds me -- it's pruning time
for roses and fuchsias, and I've never pruned my fuchsia hard. Must look it
up.
