My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

"step over" pruning advice

10 years ago

I am interested in trying the stepover method, or it is also called horizontal cordon. It seems to be mostly recommended for spur type apples and would like to experiment with some other fruits. Has this been tried on more vigorous types like sweet cherries apricots plums or peaches?
