A very easy space saving option, cordon fruit trees consist of just one main stem with 2-3″laterals carrying the fruit and flowers. Traditionally grown at a 45 degree angle,they are these days more often grown vertically, but you can still plant them at an angle if you wish.
Space cordon apples and pears 2.5-3′ apart. They can be grown against a fence or wall,or along posts and wires, or in the open and staked individually with a ‘standard rose’type stake, or even a stout bamboo cane. They will reach between 6-8’ in height.They do well on all soils except the light and sandy which should have plenty oforganic matter incorporated to add body, and the trees mulched thereafter.
