We went on a horticultural tour to the northern part of Italy in October of
2007. We visited experiment stations and several orchards under
production. If I remember correctly 90+% of the apples that are produced
there are done with the slender spindle method with some pears being done that
way as well. It gives a higher production of fruit than espalier and the
fruit is superb. Also it is less labor intensive than the espalier.
