Biz:
I have 5 dwarf trees on a wire trellis; 4
on Ottawa-3, the other on a wild dwarf. Each arm of each tree is or should be a
different variety. 8 arms per tree (4 either side). The upper tier is not
totally complete but when complete I should have about 40 varieties of apples. I
have no experience with M.26. The lowest wire is 18" off the ground, the others
are 16" apart. If I was to do it over, I would raise the lower wire 4" and leave
the others at 16" apart. I would think 12" apart would be unmanageable based on
my experience with 16" apart. I do not think there would be a relationship to
the space between horizontals and annual growth output without really having
away of knowing. I use the Lorette system of pruning with the espaliers which
works exceptionally well with pears and some varieties of apples. Some apples
varieties seem to resent it so I'll be experimenting with certain varieties
to see if I can get better results.
