Building Strong Trellises for Your New Plantings

Mike Basedow, Tree Fruit Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture

October 6, 2022

Over the last month, I have seen and heard reports of trellis failures throughout the Champlain Valley.  Unfortunately, our heavy crop loads and wet soils have created a perfect storm situation for trellis failure.

If you would like to beef up your support systems for your future plantings, but aren't quite sure where to make improvements, I recommend reviewing the Trellis Panel Discussion we held at our 2021 Winter Fruit Meeting. This panel includes Kelly Snide (Chazy Orchards), Rusty Lamb (Yonder Fruit Farms), Ted Furber (Cherry Lawn Fruit Farms), and Robert Brown III (Orchard Dale Fruit Co.).

The economic info during the discussion contains 2021 prices, so these are no doubt out of date. However, the construction principles remain sound advice.

You can find the recording on the ENYCHP YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OrfrffJm5Q&t=6s
