- Our apple orchards are getting a makeover, thanks to Hawke's Bay Plant and Food scientists, who have developed systems that grow up to twice as many apples per hectare over traditional methods. Full story: bit.ly/lf646
Made with funding from NZ On Air.

always good to produce a lot of food in one space, better that more people are outside working and getting some sun and fresh air while affording to buy good food and have a sense of belonging and support., yet most people fear agro chemicals, while some chemicals are part of some cancers, the greater cancer rates is from people working indoors lacking the movement, sun, lower stress, and healthy digestion. we thus grow a lot of cheap apples with mechanical ease, to ship far across the world, as country's go in dept with medical cost. but there is a easy solution to this!
Farm name ? In hastings ?
On this system are the branches pruned every year like the Tall Spindle or the Fruiting Wall systems? Or is this Planer Canopy branch structure pruned differently all together?
In this sort of hedged system, you see a lot of late summer pruning done with sicklebar trimmers to maintain a thin canopy. This has the added benefit of forcing more fruiting spurs to form closer to the uprights. During the winter, the side branches coming off the uprights are trimmed back, to ensure adequate space between uprights for airflow and light infiltration. Also, during the winter, excessively large uprights are taken out with renewal cuts (like large branches in TSA), with uprights lasting maybe 5-6 leafs before they're renewed. This is, essentially, a standardized form of Espalier training, and is virtually identical to UFO training for cherries, which has found considerable success in the US and Europe.
It is particularly good for spur bearing fruits like (most) apples, plums, apricots, pears and cherries. This architecture is still useful for tip=bearing apples and for peaches, but more space between uprights must be afforded in order to work with the fruiting habits of those types.
@@wildrangeringreen Thank you very much for the information.
Which variety is this
Nice
On what rootstock are such gardens ?
Dwarfing and semi-dwarfing rootstocks like Bud9, M9, M7,Geneva 41, Geneva 210, M111, and Geneva 890; how vigorous of a rootstock you choose is largely dependent on the planting site and the particular design of the orchard.
Example: my Father's orchard is located in central Ohio, and has a deep, high organic matter, clay soil: and he has to use Bud9 and similar rootstocks to keep control of the trees.
On the other hand, I live in Northern Ohio, and my bud9 rootstock trees are a failure, and I am hilling them above the graft and planting with Geneva 890 rootstock since I have very shallow, low organic matter, sandy and silt based soils.
yeah. NZ innovation.

Oh so they are going back to what Yates gardening books have said 50 - 60 year ago good on them, so are these growers paying a hourly rate yet?
