In Germany this is called "Spalierobst" and is still widely practiced. As far as I know certain fruits like apples are also produced on plantations with trees that are forced into specific shapes for easier harvesting.

Yes, I've also seen it done in apartment buildings in the heart of Copenhagen, with tomatoes, grapes and avocados.
