I headed at 18 inches because my espalier consists of overlapping "V" shapes,
with each tree dividing into two trunks that grow at 45 degree angles.
I have another espalier with horizontal branches trained to wires, and I
think the lowest laterals start at 2 feet with subsequent ones every foot. I
don't remember if I had to head these trees to get the lowest laterals to
form, but I do remember starting with small trees for this espalier as well.
My success rate for trees from Cummins has been 100% so far, but I've only
ordered around 20-25 trees from them.
All the best,
Chris Kennel
Denver, CO
