    You could train it as an espalier it's not too late.  Put  some wire horizontally horizontally behind it. Use some canes tie the branches to those , start at 45 degree angle and move them down gradually. Prune off the branches that are pointing back or too far forward. 
    Il give it a go, thanks!

    Do you know the variety you have @BenTheBeginner ? Some are tip bearing, so pruning of any kind would affect that. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It's not a tip bearer
