Allotment - espalier apple tree maintenance

I managed to take advantage of a few hours down at the allotment, and during some unseasonably mild weather to replace the posts supporting one of my espalier apple trees (variety is Adams Pearmain).

Hopefully as these posts are treated with preservative, they'll last for years, as it's a bit tricky unwiring the trees, and refitting after the posts are renewed. Looking at the condition of the trees in general, I'm very pleased how my 'experiment' to grow these as espaliers has turned out. The crop from all 3 trees last year provided enough apples to supply our needs from September to January.

Now today its raining + getting colder, so I timed that well.
