    Michigan apple farmers are considering multileader apple production systems which involve training apple trees to have multiple trunks rather than a single trunk. This system has pros like higher yields from more fruiting wood but requires more labor during pruning and may be more susceptible to disease and pest problems if not properly managed. The transition to a multileader system requires an investment of time and resources but could help operations better cope with labor shortages and other challenges faced by Michigan apple farmers.
