Espellier apple tree
The message
from "George.com" contains these words:
I have a section of wall along my back fence I am thinking of using to
espellier an apple tree. The wall is about 2 m high and 3-4 m long.
The soil
is about 12-18 inchs of loam, well draining good stuff.
Bit small, really, but when the Devil drives...
Question for someone who might know please, do you think I'd be better of
with a dwarf rootstock tree or will a semi-dwarf be ok in that area?
Semi should do - you ought to get better crops of bigger apples that way.
I realise there will be some pruning necessary but I don't want anything
that will get away on me.
If you prune, it won't...
I have my eye on a couple of old variety apple trees.
Hum - I want a Kingston Black and a Devonshire Quarrenden*
*Which has a number of alternative speelings innit.
