Ok… I notched my kieffer pear grafts (from last year)… yes and several new persimmons and apples too…
I have scaffold branches coming out right where i wanted them… but of course they are mostly going up at a steep angle.
These are about 3 inches long now.
When do you start training scaffold branches to go more horizontal ?
Does that vary by fruit tree type ?
I have used clothes pins in the past to force small limber branches on new trees to go more horizontal.
When do you start training scaffolds ?
How do you do it ?
Thanks
