I agree with Jon, V1 definitely has more vigour. Leslie [cid:image001.gif@01CDC8A7.C95AB0F0] Leslie Huffman 519-738-1256 leslie.huff...@ontario.ca<mailto:519-738-1256leslie.huff...@ontario.ca>

I''ll plant 5x12 and give you a report as the next few seasons go by.

The trees have done very well, however, they are larger than B.9 and M.9. Planting 3-4 feet apart is running into some crowding issues. They have been precocious, but I would plant them 5-6 ft. apart using a vertical axis type training. Trees I believe have come from Cameron Nursery.
