The new camera really shows the details well. I am glad you guys upgraded the camera.

Mr Spellman I just tasted the pluot. Bought it at the market. Oh my gosh! It was delicious! Super sweet ( which I loved) soft I loved it. Thank you for the work that you all do in enriching the fruit selection for all of us

Thanks so much for continuing to make videos. I really enjoy all the information you are sharing here. It helps me a lot as Im just starting my Backyard Orchard. Trees order coming this fall.

Best channel on you tube. Please more espalier videos!

Tom, If I am not careful, I could learn something new on every one of your videos... Thank you....

What is a bud? You are cutting 3 leaves out?

[@VinceEspositoJr]

I am developing about a dozen apple trees in this form at my place in NYS. It's quite enjoyable. When you check the laterals on the scaffolds/arms, how are you expecting shortened laterals to develop? Do we want their buds to throw more shoots, or to develop primarily fruiting spurs? Many thanks.

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

Vincent Esposito We leave short spurs for fruit development.

Dave Wilson Nursery In fact, future growth from the short spurs will be checked back through the growing season.

Hi, Very beautiful tree. I would like to do this espaliered fruit tree to our Apricot, Apple and Nectarine. They are in a row. can I do that? Please advice.Thank you.

[@DaveWilsonTrees]

Usha Balachandra Yes you can, easier with young trees. Build support system, cut back to basic trellis form in winter. Work new growth onto support. I would highly recommend you look for more video assistance. Maybe even Google espalier styles and structuring for more detail.
