CARE NEEDED FOR ESPALIERS 
Ten to twelve feet is the maximum height 
to which true dwarf Espaliers will grow. 
Little pruning is needed^—beyond keeping 
the small new spurs from reaching more 
than six inches outside of the main stems. 
When a spur has borne it will continue to 
bear. Pick the stem with the fruit.
