Apple Tree Belgian Fence Espalier In the Works - April 2020
My 2020 to-do list for the yard included this item in #8: "Find cheap fruit trees (that include pollinators) and plant a Belgian Fence (somewhere)." Welp, I found eight apple trees at the same Home Depot tree sale last week and brought them home to start a Belgian Fence. Here's a look at some of them below. I have documented the Belgian Fences that we came across in Disneyland over the years. Here's the first one that caught my attention on a trip . And here's another from a different trip . I ended up picking apple trees for this because they had the right amount of them and had a variety that I was most keen to get: Honeycrisp. One of the things that I've picked up while researching the Belgian Fence was to learn that it is best to select two varieties of apple trees that are 'pollinators'. In a look at the list for Honeycrisp apples , one of the selected pollinators is Yellow/Golden Delicious. They are cross-pollinators
