Hugh,
I don't know where you are located but I would think Bud 118 is WAY too
vigorous for that spacing, even with honeycrisp.
Why not a much weaker rootstock and plant (3) x12?

I planted Honeycrisp on what I thought was Bud 9 on 4x15. I have a strong
suspicion that they were on Bud 118, but I can't verify that. I've had a
heck of time
Next spring, I'm thinking of planting Honeycrisp on Bud 118 with a 4x12
spacing. Anyone with any ideas or critical remarks on this would be
appreciated.
