apple tree "leg" grafted onto m9 rootstock
« on: September 30, 2007, 08:00 »
Seen an article in one of them rhs magazines about these apple trees which can be grown as minatures but give a good yield of fruit.  See article here http://www.blackmoor.co.uk/pdf/apple_training.pdf  I wondered if anyone had any experience of this method as i want to try this for next year.  any comments, tips or suggestions welcome.


cheers

Depends what you call a good yield :wink:  :wink:
The yield and size of tree/rootstock are interrelated, also affect feeding needs.  It's for lack of space, mainly,methinks...

If you are short of space have you considered espalier? Takes a bit of pruning but you can get a good crop from a small square footage (if that's a word!)
