Fan and Espalier Fruit Trees
Got a sunny wall or fence growing going spare? Why not train your fruit tree in an espalier or fan shape? This classic training method (which dates back as far as the Romans) involves growing a vertical central leader with several tiers of horizontal, fruit-bearing branches spreading outwards to create a productive, highly attractive fruit tree. Traditionally associated with apples and pears, you can actually also espalier or fan train a range of other fruit types, including cherries, plums, peaches and more.
