Hello,
a "fashion" (?) that of columnar fruit trees (also called "column trees") has been blooming for several years.
(I let you search for images on your favorite search engine with these keywords).
They have their advantages and disadvantages and I do not expect an incredible production considering the low port of the tree, but for the greedy side and to peck during passages in the garden in late summer / early fall, I would be tempted. Especially since a tall stem will never pass through an urban garden of 5x10m, if only to maintain good relationships with neighbors !
Have any of you tried?
These trees are still relatively far from the imagination of the "classic" tall-stemmed fruit tree, I wonder what their average lifespan is according to the genera (plum, malus, pyrus, or even not pyrus...) and what is their production?
What are your Experiences with these trees?
Thank you for your feedback!

Re: Feedback on columnar fruit trees
When I see the photos where almost systematically there are more fruits than leaves, knowing that the fruits are filled with the sugar produced by solar energy capture by the leaves, it puzzles me ...

The fruit hedge is to be preferred if we want trees with low development, rather than these marketing products.

Re: Feedback on columnar fruit trees
The fruit hedge is now a classic of fruit growing, with low vigor rootstocks to obtain moderate growth of the branch which is maintained in a linear plane and a low height. These characteristics ensure reduced maintenance, great ease of harvesting and good productivity / ha. The method Thomas-Bouche is one of the possibilities for driving this type of hedge, but not the only one.

Is she planted? If so, how many varieties, which rootstocks?

I understand. If I may, you are right not to have it in place. A successful and productive fruit hedge is very beautiful, but still difficult to manage, it is the business of an experienced arborist.
