  • Yea, step 3: "columnarize" the side branches. i.e., make them a spindle just like the leader by removing any 'Y's' where the side branch splits into 2. It's similar to diameter-based pruning on the leader whereby any branch 50% or more the diameter of the leader is removed. Thus, the side branches will have all small branches/fruiting wood originating from them. Make sense?

    I would think so. Most folks on here are amateurs giving advice out to people without any proper qualification or legitimate credentials like this Dr has.

  • @jmcext thank you jmcext

  • can someone write what he means in the third step because i can't understand very well some words, thanks.

  • This guy says:

    Gala, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious every 3 feet.

    Macintosh, Fuji, every 4 feet

  • too much propensity for disease on 3 foot spacing.  4-6 feet spacing is better. he must not have a large orchard. 4 is the minimum i would do.

  • Hi there

    Great video advise.

    Do you have any videos planned, how to create an espaliered apple tree.

    Regards

    Ellis

  • Dr. Robinson is a world-renowned expert and a great speaker. Heed his advice and you will be right.
