Espalier Cordons 
The Single Vertical Cor¬ 
don, shown at the left, is 
the simplest Espalier form. 
It is usually planted in com¬ 
bination with more elabo¬ 
rate forms, especially at 
the ends of a planting. It 
may also be planted in rows 
along a wall or as a screen. 
Because of their small size, 
the trees can be planted as 
close as one foot. A row of 
Single cordons makes an in¬ 
teresting division line be¬ 
tween the vegetable and the 
fruit garden. 
The Horizontal Cordon is 
striking when planted in a 
row along the top of a low 
retaining wall or along a 
garden path. Two-Arm 
Cordons are used with One- 
Arm Cordons at ends and 
corners, or a Single Verti¬ 
cal Cordon may be planted at the end for emphasis. 
Single Vertical Cordons are available in Apples, 
Pears and Plums. Horizontal Cordons can be supplied 
only in Apples and Pears. 
Cordons are inexpensive and can be freely used in 
the average home garden.
