About The Company
 Best Angle Tree Stakes,
Inc. was started by Clarence R. Wentzler and Karen Wentzler Woolever. Clarence and Karen
are also the owners and operators of Wentzlers' Fruit Farms, Inc.
The Wentzlers farm
approximately 400 acres of fruit. The operation includes a large storage and packing
plant, two farm markets, and a cider processing facility.
Of the 400 acres
farmed, 275 acres of this operation consists of high density dwarf apple trees. The
Wentzlers began planting dwarf trees in the late 1960's, and started supporting these
trees in the early 1970's.
Over the years, they
have planted a variety of dwarf rootstocks, from interstems all the way down to the
super dwarf M27. In addition, the Wentzlers have explored a number of planting
styles including slender spindle, super spindle, french axe, multiple row bed, and 1 - 6
wire trellises. |

Recognizing A Need
When the Wentzlers
started supporting their dwarf fruit trees in the early 1970's, they experimented with a
variety of support systems, such as bamboo, conduit, wood, and wire. All of these support
systems proved unacceptable for one reason or another.
Thus, the Wentzlers
produced the Best Angle Tree Stake. After recognizing the tremendous improvement in the
support process, the Wentzlers decided to offer their product to other
growers. The Wentzlers formed Best Angle Tree Stakes, Inc. in conjunction with
Jersey Shore Steel Company. |
