In late March 2009 I saw amazing block of Honeycrisp on B118 very close to
Gebber's pack house in WA. The rows were 8' apart but I do not remember the
other spacing. I would like to see the block now but at the time it was
very impressive.

Subject: [apple-crop] Honeycrisp on bud 118
Hugh, I have some honeys on bud 118 at 4 ft apart and it's working well. I
have sandy loam soil so that's the only reason it's working. Return bloom
hasn't been spectacular so I really think more dwarfing stocks are the way
to go or maybe simply blossom thinning would be the answer? This year I put
them in on g202 so hopefully the smaller apple it produces will help with
bitter pit. We did lose 51 trees to bud union failure before we even got
them out of the box. It sounds like g41 offers the best return bloom similar
to g30 which is the best I've seen.
