I'm planning a espalier fence and need spur bearing apple trees. Can some kind soul verify this please? i would hate to get a free going only to find out It's the wrong type.
Thanks in advance
Granny Smith and Golden Delicious are tip bearing.
Gala, Starking and Reinetta are all spur bearing.
Apple tree question
I know for sure Golden Delicious and Gala are spur bearers and granny smith is a tip bearer.
I'm guessing that Starkling based on its parentage is spur bearing and Reinetta is tip.
This document has a list of tip or partial tip bearing varieties as some have both characteristics of setting fruit only on new growth verses on spurs on older growth.
