Espalier apple tree, 21 years old, adds a distinctive touch of 
beauty to this barn in Switzerland. 
It took more than 60 years of trial and research in 
Switzerland to bring the Espalier Fruit Tree to 
perfection. Because their garden space is so limited, 
Swiss gardeners readily adopted it and the art of 
espaliering fruit trees quickly spread throughout 
Switzerland and France. U.S. Registered Espalier 
Trees have brought the charm and utility of this 
Old World discovery to America. Every Registered 
U.S. Espalier Tree is developed from genuine Swiss 
espalier stock imported to this country in 1928.
