Apple Tree Belgian Fence Espalier Planted - May 2020
Three weeks ago, I posted my fruit tree haul from Home Depot and talked about building my long-desired Belgian Fence espalier in our backyard. About two weeks ago, I got around to planting the trees and....(gasp) lopping off the tops. Here's the location that I decided to plant the Belgian Fence below. On the right of the photo, you can see the first of the trees planted that I'm planning on leaving tall and proud. In the foreground is the Azalea that you can see in this photo here . Here's that same tree a little closer: I planted the rest of the trees in a row - 16" apart. And four inches (4") from the fence. You can see them lined up below. The trees from right to left are: 1. Golden Delicious 2. Honeycrisp 3. Honeycrisp 4. Honeycrisp 5. Golden Delicious 6. Honeycrisp 7. Honeycrisp 8. Golden Delicious Here's another few looks at the trees - in their full height below. I planted them one afternoon and then had to sleep
