An apparatus and method for controlling apical growth of plants withoutcutting orpinching so as to increase productivity and efficiently utilize growthresources. A spring-shaped frame is provided having the form of mirror image/opposed Fibonacci orGoldenSpirals that expand from a first center point and then contract back to asecond starting pointby an approximately similar number of quarter-turns, the spring suitably beingformed of asingle length of wire. The apical growth tip of the plant is bent to meet theframe at selectedlocations and attached progressively as growth proceeds, using ties or othersuitableconnectors. A stake inserted through the starting points of the spiralattaches the frame to themedium in which the plant is rooted. The stake is preferably angled so thatthe plantmaximizes utilization of available light, for example, approximately 800 tothe surface of themedium.
