Those are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Could I run them along my pasture fence?

I did not realize that it took 6 years before they fruit. What would happen if you did not trim them back?

I really don't have any experience with them yet. I don't know if they are considered edible by cows, horses, sheep, donkeys, and especially goats. If you don't prune them, they are supposed to get very long, if memory serves, about 60 to 70 feet. The write-up I have is that they could bear in 2 to 5 years, but I suspect the 5 years is more the norm. They are not supposed to like the wind either.
