Use 2" PVC, two "Tees" on the top of the legs, and a 45 degree elbow in between (all connected with short pieces of pipe). The elbow forms a saddle, and allows the legs to splay for good side to side stability. Run a wire through the tees and elbow and wrap around the stem,. This keeps the prop from falling out when the tree sways in the wind. Prop under the very highest point where the stem curves over and heads down toward the bunch of fruit.
