An\nopen bowl or cup form increases the penetration of sunlight, thus encouraging a high\nfruit yield whilst keeping the tree short and easy to pick from. Other shapes such as\ncordons, s and fans offer opportunities for growing trees two dimensionally\nagainst walls or fences, or can themselves be trained as barriers."],"Page image":["File:Fruittreeforms.png"],"Page is ported from":["http://permaculture.wikia.com/wiki/Fruit_tree_forms"],"Page keywords":["trees"],"Page language":["en"],"Page license":["CC-BY-SA-3.0"],"Page title":["Fruit tree forms"],"Page views":[514],"Page year":["Thursday, 01-Jan-15 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Thursday, 27-Nov-25 23:27:37 UTC"]}
