Last week I sprayed my apples and did a touch of pruning to ensure my central leaders weren't getting any competition.
Two of my 3rd-leaf trees are over 10' tall so getting to the very top with a 6' step ladder is getting to be an uncomfortable stretch.
Orchard ladders seem terribly expensive, so I thought I'd ask some questions before taking the plunge.
Questions:
(a) what size orchard ladder should I get for mm.111 and b.118 trees?
(b) What brand/source would you recommend?
(c) Any features (e.g., metal vs. wood vs. fiberglass) do you think are important?
Thanks in advance, Lot2Learn
