  • Staking advice for cordon fruit please

    Hi,
    I'm planting out my apple cordons (on MM106).

    I was going to train them up wires but I've decided to go for upright cordons on stakes instead now. Trouble is, all the information I can find just says to stake - doesn't say how tall the stake should be.

    Can anyone tell me please?

    Upright cordons on MM106 won't need staking - the roots are plenty strong enough. Even M26 upright cordons probably won't need staking.

    The normal procedure for sloped cordons would be a post-and-wire system, with diagonal (45-degree) canes attached to the wires and the cordons tied to the canes.
    The graft of the sloped cordons should be on the uppermost side of a cordon, to reduce the risk of breakage under its own weight.
