John I says... Hi David, one more suggestion... the tap root provides support for the tree. You may want to consider protecting the tree from strong winds, and pruning to keep the tree compact. This should help prevent the tree from blowing over. You may also want to consider espaliering the tree to keep the tree more compact and for added support. | About the Author JohnI Melbourne 7th May 2010 7:32am #UserID: 1975 Posts: 248 View All JohnI's Edible Fruit Trees |
