New Top Tier Added To Final Espalier Trellis. 1 Apr 24.

 I added the top bamboo tier to the Honeycrisp / Gala Apple espalier trellis.  Then I tied down the top level arms (Gala).


I like Hobeycrisp a lot.  It's not very vigorous, but the apples are excellent.   Gala is a favorite for pies but also fresh.  So far, the Gala top graft has been very vigorous.

Now all it needs is maintenance, and occasional puttering and pampering.  This is much mire accessible compared to "normal" shaped trees and the space requirement is minimal - it's all within about 2 feet from the fence.
