Very interesting. I want to try it. Can you do it in a large pot?
So painful to me to see all of that cut off. I know it can be done, it just scares me. Lol I haven't pruned by bareroot tree I put in this year. I figured in the fall I will give it a try. Also going to prune my Dad's old tree to see if I can bring life back to them.
Very cool and beautiful process! Bravo!
Thank you for this demonstration! It makes espalier seem simple and makes me feel like I could do this, as I’ve always wanted to try it! Just really beginning my garden and orchard this year and I’m going to do it!
Just be aware that fig tree roots are invasive when not grown in an espalier, so you need to keep it up if you plant near a foundation. I just learned that doung some online research because I want to plant some fruit trees. Unfortunately, my 107 yr old house still has the original sewer line, which is not hard pvc making it vulnerable to tree roots. The apple trees at the back of my property have already pushed it up a little, causing a small belly. So, I plan to pot my fig tree until I can get the sewer line replaced at a later date. Just do your due diligence when planting trees, especially in a smaller space.
You are fantastic for explaining all this !!
With some of the clippings you cut off can they be rooted too?
Thanks for this informative video I really appreciate this knowledge! I live in Ohio and I think my choices of fruit trees would be limited but even being able to grow apples and cherry trees would be a blessing ! God bless ????????????
Might be a silly question but have they to be male female trees ?
Careful not to shade out that side of the house too much as that can lead to mold
