In this vlog I bring my #espalier pear tree back under control. There is also a little explanation of #apical #dominance.
Please visit my website and Garden Shop here: www.marksgarde...
I also explain how to make an espalier, and why people like them and their benefits.
Here are the tips and benefits.
Tips
Plant against a south facing wall.
#Prune to let the light in to #fruit
Remove unwanted growth to promote fruit production
Prune to 4 or 5 downward facing buds to encourage fruit production
Attach wire to vine eyes
Aim for one horizontal level per year by pruning the leader and allowing the side #shoots to grow horizontally.
Thin out some some juvenile fruits (30%) to avoid over stressing the plant and stopping fruit drop.
Benefits
Space saving, you can walk past, stepover and plant in two dimensions.
Maximise yield
Allows light to fruits
Horizontal branches are exposed to maximum sunlight as the sun passes over.
