i had a friend that grew up in Hawaii, him, and his brother, back in the early 80's grew in trees. they det up platforms about 2/3rds from the top, and cleared out a few of the higher branches, and used 10 Gal pots. they watered every other day. they had 3 pots in a tree, and used 5 trees. they got between 1/2 to 1 Lb per plant. then, about 2 years ago, my Bro-in-law planted 1 of my clones right next to the trunk of an very young apple tree, it was long and stretchy until late july, or so, then the tops started to get higher then the tree. the tops started to fill out nicely then. it only yielded about 7 Oz, but i walked by it for a month or so, b4 he showed it to me, i never saw it for what it was. the apple tree was about 7 Ft tall, but it was a very well hidden plant, healthy, but leggy, and a bit stressed, b4 it got tall enough. BUT, back to the tree top idea. i saw pics they took, i was impressed with what they did, but he said clearing out about half the branched was the trick to getting enough light in. he said the year b4 he did OK, but the 2nd year, they thinned out the branched, it tripled the yield. hope this helped some.
