Interpoma 2016 y actividades paralelas: congresos y simposio BIBAUM® () The results obtained about the evaluation of fruiting wall and in particular the 2D system named "Bibaum" were presented by in INTERPOMA'2016 by different speekers of Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom and Germany. The bassis of the sytem is abetter distribution of tree vigour, a more bidimensional shape compared with the central axis, a lower deensity of plating (lower cost) and a more efficient mechanization in the case of pruning, thinning and harvesting, becuase the shape of the trees is more adapted to it. The experiences presented were mainly in apple but also in Spain and Italy this systems (V axys) has been used over the last two decades for the same reasons.
