LSU Gold--espalier or prune to bush?

Hello!  I am new to fig growing, and I would like to know if anyone has successfully espaliered an LSU Gold or pruned it to a short (8-10 feet), shrub-like shape.  I would like to get an LSU gold, since I've read fantastic things about it, but it won't work out unless I can espalier it or make it act like a shrub.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Marie

Mine is always pruned back to 2-3 nodes on each branch at the beginning of each season, and is currently 24" tall beginning its 6th or 7th year.
