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.

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.

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