espalier.   ancient designs for modern gardens

espalier. An ancient technique of training a plant against a trellis, fence or wall. Espaliered trees ("espaliers") may be formed into fantastic shapes and designs.

beauty. Just one espaliered tree transforms even a simple garden into an elegant or whimsical work of art.

functionality. Numerous espaliered trees can be beautifully arranged in a small city garden, while the miniature fruit trees provide abundant and delicious fruit within easy reach.

versatility. Trained against a south-facing wall, espaliers absorb extra heat, which extends their growing season. Those of you who live in colder climes can enjoy figs fresh from your garden!

Beautiful and practical - discover the masterpiece in your garden with espalier.
