Description
Espalier is fundamentally a formal training style for fruit trees. However, because the basic materials are living woody trees, there are almost as many patterns and forms as there are espalier plants. The form you choose can be as rigid and formal or as whimsical and fantastical as you wish! The bonus is that you can greatly improve the quality of your fruit harvest and your landscape by training fruit trees to grow in flat forms. In this class, you will learn what fruit trees and varieties work best with your gardening technique and the do’s and don’ts of growing espalier trees. There will even be a hands-on demonstration in the garden at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks on an Arkansas Black Apple Tree. Participants will walk away with a good understanding of what it takes to establish their own backyard espaliered fruit tree!
