- I have had pretty good success scoring above buds on the central leader to encourage branches where I want them. Question: If I score above what looks like a fruit bud, will that fruit bud turn into a branch?
- When training your scaffold branches at 60 degree angles, how far out from the tree is 'enough'? One a limb is, say, 3'-4' from the central leader should I let it grow wild thinking that eventually a fruit load will bring it down, or is it worth the effort to train a branch to follow a 60 degree angle even farther out from the leader?
- It's not hard to train the branches on the first two scaffold layers, but harder and harder on the higher scaffold branches. Does anybody train branches above the second scaffold?
- How far out from the central leader should a scaffold branch be before we let it 'fork'?
I look forward to your thoughts on any/all of these.
