Default how to espalier a lemon tree

I was just looking through a mediterranean gardening book and saw a picture
of this being done. Interesting. They mentioned two points; make sure your
arbor has wide enough openings to let the lemons hang down for picking and
whitewash the bare trunks to prevent sunscald. I thought about trying this
until I saw the whitewash part. I hate that look. I guess you could also
use some other sort of trunk wrap.
