Decision · consequence- 01 Posts and four wires A modern planting is a fence with trees tied to it. What each wire carries.
- 02 The strainer post Angled, anchored and doing all the work at the end of the row.
- 03 High-tensile wire Thin, strong and unforgiving. Tension, staples and what happens in frost.
- 04 The screw anchor Wound into the ground at an angle, holding against everything the row does.
- 05 Tying the leader The single stem trained up, and the tie that must not girdle it.
- 06 Row spacing Set by the machine that has to pass, not by the tree.
