You can prune them after fruiting to keep them under control and encourage a multi-stemmed plant.

A sharp Machete does ok if you have the space to swing it and you know how to handle one skillfully.
a quallity pair of bypass secateurs or loppers are good, esp. to cut through hard inner stem and do a neater job than most people would do with a machete.
Best to cut at joints (between stems) for neatness.
