Dwarfed Espaliers 
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.

Peaches are an exception: fruit grows 
only on last season’s wood. Keep two spurs 
coming at every four inch interval along 
the stem. In March, prune one back and 
let the other fruit. Then, when fruited, 
cut it back and from the other by then 
there should be two new ones for the fol¬ 
lowing year’s crop. 
/ 
Watering and fertilizing are unnecessary 
except in very poor soil indeed. Spray for 
disease as with any fruit tree. 
In planting against a wall, place the tree 
six inches away and allow 18 inches root 
space—requiring a space in all two feet 
out from the wall.

Look at this Apple Tree! 
It is young yet already has a few apples— 
(and such apples!) How easy to spray! To 
pick the fruit. What an ornamental effect a wall 
or fence of such trees would make! Since it is 
both ornamental and practical, why have any 
other kind for the intimate home garden ? The 
price—espalier growing takes years of training 
in the nursery to make it easy for YOU. Prices 
are reasonable when costs are considered.
