This workshop will introduce the art of espalier, a technique for growing fruit trees flat against walls or supports in the narrowest of spaces. Gain a practical overview of what is involved in espaliering both deciduous fruit trees (such as apples and pears) and evergreen trees (such as citrus and olives). Learn about the different espalier shapes and forms, when to use them, and how to maximise the productivity of those smaller spaces in your garden.
