[apple-crop] "Pommier, Le Mur Fruiter"
-- Forwarded message -- From: maurice tougas Date: Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 7:24 AM Subject: "Pommier, Le Mur Fruiter" To: Andre Tougas Croppers, Does anyone know of a translated version of "Pommier, le Mur fruitier"? I am intrigued by the concept of this system after having traveled to Belgium last week scouting visits for the IFTA study tour this summer. We saw example of orchards trated with this system, and will be visiting them in July. The above publication appears to be the best coverage of the system I've seen. Alas, mon papa is no longer with me to help me with this.

Hi Maurice To my knowledge there is no translation of the book. Since the concept was created in our orchards here in Lanxade Centre (near Bergerac South West of France), I shall be able to answer all questions. The first rows of this training system were planted in 1995 for better access to fruit, since we were hosting a robotic harvester program at that time. Then the robotic program fell down, too much cost, too poor yield, then we decided to go on with the orchard.

Bonjour, I see the publication is available in French at http://www.amazon.fr/Pommier-mur-fruitier-Collectif/dp/2879111838. What is the publication date? To what extent has "le mur fruitier" been adopted in French commercial production? Merci beaucoup!

Hello Jean, This must be my lucky day. Je dois traiter ma femme à dîner ce soir! I will soon develop a list of questions for you. Thank you so much for your offer.
