These Picturesque Dwarf, Trained Fruit Tree: 
U-Form Espalier Trees and Their Uses 
U-Fonn Espalier Apple Trees Trained on Garage Wall 
The Single U-Form Espalier shown at left and the Double U- 
Form shown below are useful Espalier types, and they are adaptable 
to Apples, Pears, Plums, Peaches, Nectarines and Apricots. 
The Single U-Form is especially useful for training on leaders 
at the corners of a building. It is also very effective when placed 
in series between windows, as shown in the illustration. We have 
seen a U-Form Peach Tree bear 170 large peaches. 
The width between the arms of a single U-Foim is usually from 
15 to 16 inches on Apple and Pear Trees and 24 inches on 
Peaches and Nectarines. It can be trained to any height desired, 
up to 10 ft. A simple practical form, suitable for many purposes. 
The Double U-Form Espalier Tree, available only in Peaches 
and Nectarines, is used for covering wide areas of wall, also for 
training on arbors and pergolas. They make very fine, practical 
trees, bearing generous crops of choice fruit. A Peach or Nectarine 
Double U-Form Tree will cover a wall space about 8 feet in 
width. 
On large areas, the Double U-Form and the Single U-Form 
can be uesd effectively in combination.

Palmette Verrier Trees 
The Four, Six and Eight-Armed Palmette Verrier Forms are 
available only in Apples, Plums and Pears. All of these are used 
on wide areas of wall space, on trellises and pergolas. 
The Four-Armed Palmette Verrier differs from the Double U- 
Form in the pattern of its branches. The two forms are used for 
identical purposes. We suggest that as a matter of interest and 
variety, you use the Palmette Verrier form in the fruits in which 
it is available, using the Double U-Form for the other fruits. 
The Six and Eight-Armed Forms are masterpieces of the art 
of Espalier Training. They are used where wide areas are to be 
covered. 
The Palmette Verrier is a very satisfactory form, easily kept to 
true shape. A Four-Armed Palmette covers a space about four 
feet wide, the Six-Armed, six feet, the Eight-Armed, eight feet.
