10 foot high density apple stakes
What's the best way to erect
a 10 foot high stake for high
density apple growing?
Our solution was to pound in
a heavy duty fence post and slide a 10 foot long 1 1/2 inch diameter
PVC pipe over top.
"Will it hold a bushel of
apples?" was Anna's first question.
Heck yeah! It's very solid
and feels like it will last at least 100 years.

Paint the PVC stakes if you want them to last more than ten... Or use metal conduit.
But I suppose the trees will protect them from the sun to some extent, maybe they will last longer.
