Let le know how you get on!

… I looked through 100s of 1-year olds at my local nursery to select two that had already two branches correctly placed and I chopped all others off. You can gain 1 year like that but not more

Love it too! But maintaining it is a bit of work. I’m on rung 4. Would definitively recommend a more vigorous root stock than the ultimate height of the espalier would imply. I started two pears from maiden whips but my two apples that provide privacy like in your case…

Some already trained trees exist but cost a fortune and usually only the first one or two rungs are formed. Have you decided what root stock and tree you want?

Not sure where you are based, but I got my trees from Orange Pippin in UK. They have a fantastic website with tons of choice and also advice on how to pick your root stock. I’m more a metric person myself but what you say sounds entirely feasible- it just takes time

This project on quantum-enabled fluorescence lifetime microscopy for cardiac imaging is offered with Daniele Faccio and Godfrey Smith at the Advanced Research Centre at the University of Glasgow

Very exciting! Enjoy the evening and good luck!

Sorry to hear Rita. Hope she gets better soon.

And another great poster contribution. Great to hear about your new technique!

Great annual highlight meeting indeed with some genuine symposing, ie wee drink in the pub afterwards
