Pears:

Has anyone espaliered pear on OhxF333?   If so wht shape. I was thinking 4 
arm palmette but I was not sure of the spacing. the classic 3 1/2 foot width 
seems foolish to me given the girth of pears on Ohxf33 after 10-15 years...

Maybe 6 rm would control the vigor better, but at what spacing width wise for 
the espalier on either 4 or 6 arm palmettes?  

Apple:

I am using M27, and thinking it may have enough vigor to so a single U 
palmette but I am not sure it could do a 4 rm palmette - has anyone done this 
on M27?  What forms are you training on M27?  (I get the scion vigor matters 
- i.e I might be able to pull off  4 arm palmette easily with Northern Spy on 
M27).  

Any comments most appreciated. 

the fluffy one
