Espalier Fruit Trees 
<=T 
o those unfamiliar with the term "espalier,” let us explain that it 
denotes a tree or bush trained to grow in any desired form on a trellis or similar 
support. The demand by persons with limited spaces in their gardens has resulted 
in the development by horticulturists of small fruit trees which provide two-fold 
delight—springtime blossom and summer fruit. 
The custom of training fruit trees to grow in limited areas has long been an 
art in Europe and the effectiveness of this treatment, both from a decorative 
and practical standpoint, has more recently been recognized in America.

Espalier fruit trees are ideal for planting along the side of your house, garage or fence. The 
variety of shapes possible with genuine Espalier trees has no limit.
