Bill, did you mean 5?
Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops University of Illinois - Crop Sciences St Charles Horticulture Research Center 535 Randall Road, St Charles, IL, 60174 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 [email protected] I had problems with just one 8 high wire. Trees bowed too much under fruit load. Trees midway between trellis posts pulled the wire down causing the entire row to be pulled down and bowed. Bamboo was ¾ diameter. One wire added later at 5 alleviated the problem. Bill Fleming Montana State University Western Ag Research Center 580 Quast Ln Corvallis, Montana
