I don't speak French and missed the reason for doing it that way. Never seen that one before.
Je ne parle France' pas, aussie. (?!)
I don't speak French either but I know it is called French Pruning:

First you grow a single stem.
Then you top it and allow TWO side branches.
Later do the same to the side branches.
