FarmerDave 8yr holy cow! Did the tree fruit at all for the first 3 years?

gustin 8yr @FarmerDave a few last year but I picked them so it could focus on branch growth. A key change was planting 3 additional really close like a hedge, it is an American hybrid and potentially it wasn't being pollinated as well before.

FarmerDave 8yr Good point about branch growth. Thanks for be tip about close planting. I haven't yet delved into fruit trees but this gives me a good start

gustin 8yr I highly recommend holistic orchard by Michael Phillips, he recommends the hedge for American hybrids. Great to hear your planning to dive into fruit trees, a whole other world compared to annuals but oh so fun
