Project W: Columnar Apple Shot Plot

Last thought on the shot plot. I cleaned out some autumn olive, multiflora rose, and Virginia creeper last spring. Realized I missed a little walnut and some grape I need to clean out on next visit.
 
I have a few of the Czech columnar apples, and they are not that productive. I think the columnar thing is an overhyped gimmick.

I'll just buy smaller rootstocks and prune my trees from now on.
 
I've not read through this whole thread, so this may have already come up, but.... Nick Botner was mentioned early on... Temperate Orchard Conservancy had Botner's permission to clone his orchard, and they've been working, for several years, on getting them all cloned. You can order scionwood from them... though I've not looked at the offerings.
