Can you grow custard apple as espalier tree, please?

Long time ago, inspired by an old photo and then finding this about 5 years ago, I'm happy to say I have my own beautiful horizontal cordon Honeycrisp apple reaching the entire gable end of my house. Came back to thank you.

Mount Vernon’s is the exact spot that inspired me to look into espalier as well. I loved their step-over cordons bordering all of the beds blocks.

I had the same experience after visiting Mt. Vernon as well. I had never even heard or seen anything like espalier before and was instantly captivated by it.

Много говоришь. Лучше покажи результат.👎👎👎👎👎

Называется пальметтное садоводство. P.S. Привет из Киргизии.

الله يبارك

Very cool variety

Спасибо..мастеру очень здорово!!!

Good

Amazing work.....it's helpful video for achieving good result on waste land

For what reason is put that flexible tube at the base of tree? And the underground pot? This pot is without bottom?

Thanks you

Thank you for sharing the amazing content, I always want to try training an espalier fruit tree. This is perfect 🌱🍃🌴🌲☘🌿👌

I'm starting one on cattle panels.. I've been reading you can't with nectarines or plums?? Is that true? That's what was gifted me

Great production! I've just become infatuated with this style of growing and can't wait to try it

I want to move to TN one of these days and start my own nursery. Your work is truly inspirational

Your trees are beautiful! I wondered if you ever have rot problems on the Belgium Fence where branches cross. Typically when you are doing regular pruning, I thought you were supposed to prevent crossing like that. As the branches grow into and around one another, will that not eventually be an issue? Would it be a good idea to make several inches of space at each X to give room for the girth of the branches to grow?

Just mute and watch

How about peach trees?

Very good job sir

Loved the trees. Hated the music. Incidentally, unique means ONE OF A KIND. If there is more than one tree in the world of that pattern, then it is NOT unique.

Such beautiful set ups. Thank you. Very inspired, would like to do some in our garden.

One of the challenges I have seen with exotic pruning is training the owners how to maintain the look. I have found that even so called professional gardeners do not understand how to maintain trees. I do enjoy the variety of shapes that can be done and add interest to a garden space.

The orchard as a vineyard! Fascinating! :)

I'm new to growing trees. I planted a peach tree whip last spring, cutting it off at knee length....and let it grow. 9 months later, comparing my peach tree with the trees in these videos, I have to conclude that I did my tree a disservice by not rubbing off the two branches just 4 inches above the graft. Those branches are beefy now, but we are told that low branches have to be pruned. I am cool with that, but I'm left with less than good development at the top of the whip. I have one branch that is near the top of the whip, that I well save as a scaffold. Opposite of this branch is a bump, about the size of a walnut cut in half. On the bump there are 3 branches like a cyclops with 3 eyes, "tri-clops", with three branches in a horizontal row on that bump. If I were to cut off the middle branch, that would add up to 3 future scaffold branches, but I have doubts to the structural integrity of that bump. What about these bumps? Are they a future problem? With potential scaffold problems due to the bump, maybe I should do espalier to provide structural support for these branches, which might not be strong in the future.

Hi Peter - I’ve been thinking about those espalier for years also and happen to have an 80 foot run I’d like to train a Belgian fence on. What spacing do you recommend for prairiefire crabapple trees? Will too close inhibit growth or will too far ruin the design depending on the tree’s spread?

Are all those stakes in the ground semented in?

I love this guy. Pipe in hand, he is a man with a plan

These guys talk so fricken slow

This is wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you! I live in Sweden and a first time homeowner and beginner gardener. In part to your videos I am trying to learn how to graft then train so I can have my dream Belgian fence around my home with as many varieties of fruit trees as possible! This is an inspiration!

This was great. Where is part 2?

Jesus crucified trees

Peter, I wonder if you've ever checked out Auvil Fruit Company's Vantage Ranch in Washington state. If not, you really should look them up. They probably have the nicest orchards in the world and they use a horizontal cordon system.

Amazing

How would I make a hedge using espalier method? I need a canopy high enough to stop leaves falling into our yard we were going to use shrubs but i'm considering espalier/pleaching. Do you graft the espalier branches together

good for art not fruit

Crap no follow-up video? What you've shown looks incredible.

I like the Led Zeppelin at the end. Good vid.

i would love to work for you ,i can water the plants or trees!!please!

Excellent video. Please make or upload the second video if you have already made it.

Anyone who can do a Belgium Fence has my admiration. I have so many questions on how to build one, and keep it in good shape. Do you have tours?

I love this art. I had several espaliered apples planted in a garden I recently moved from. I hope the new owner takes care of them. Someday, I want to do the tunnel and maybe a heart. They are lovely. Thanks for these videos. I'll wait for the next one. Thanks again.
