Owner's comments

Plot 14 Growing very well. Was originally purchased as an Espalier, but after planting I am training it to form a bush. It has enough upper branch growth to permit safe removal of all of the lower branches. It has a single fruit in 2012 which is on one of the branches destined to be removed this winter.
