It gives a good overview of cherry growing in the Northwest and introduces us to 8 training systems for cherries other than the open center and central leader systems.

2 Go to You Tube and do searches on the KYM Green Bush system and the Spanish Bush system. Also do searches of other systems mentioned that are of interest to you.
