new apple tree position?
I had a brain wave idea last night so threw it over to Sue for her opinion, dearn't do anything without her approval or i would be in very deep do doos.
In the picture below, the earth patch this end of the trellis work with a couple of plants in is where the 2 apple trees were and never did that much fruit wise.
So I said to Sue what about having these two bushes out (the big green one and the one next to it this side ) as they only put out leaves and take over the garden path. Instead put in stakes and wire between and grow apple trees there instead. Even a couple of shaped fancy paving slabs to walk on between them instead of the earth

there are apple trees that are grown for this type of setup, so what do you think? A brainwave or what?
Initially Sue was non committal but coming around to the idea this morning.
I had thought about using the fence as a support ,but if the panel fell down!!!!!!!!!
