Column Fruit Trees (Set of 3)2215

Product Information

If you have these they will grow into branches so they must always be pinched back to maintain the simpler columnar form. Low Maintenance – only pruned once a year in late summer and that’s just to maintain the column shape and encourage more new growth next year.

Before you start, examine the existing structure and make any necessary repairs to ensure it’s in good condition using garden repairing tools.The cordless KEO garden saw from Bosch even cuts thicker branches powerfully, cleanly and safely and keeps the columnar fruit tree in shape. You may need to thin the trees the first year so the branches will support the weight of the apples.

Self-fertile trees produce a good-sized crop without the need for cross-pollination or pollination partners. Because they can be grown self supporting, they can be used on shorter walls and fences which would not accommodate a traditional cordon, fan or espalier tree. The suitability of cordon apple trees for your garden depends on several factors, such as available space, personal preferences, and objectives.In the case of stone fruit trees (plums, apricots, cherries), the ideal time for pruning is just after harvest. The trees will need staking throughout their life for the best results, but this does not have to be a large post.
