Espalier Fruit Tree Advice Please
Hello Folks!
Any and all anecdotes/experiences/advice welcome with regard to espalier fruit trees. I have a lean-to greenhouse with a wall 7m long and 2.28m high. I wish to grow an espalier fruit tree against it. This would be sited in the middle of the wall. Either side I thought about growing passion fruit or somewuch (decorative). My thoughts so far: A cherry – root stock? Can be espaliered but what about the summer heat? An apricot – root stock? Not suitable for an espalier and I don’t have enough height for a fan? A peach/nectarine – Root stock? Suitable for an espalier? Secondly, what to grow it in. I have some 16”cube pots/boxes. Would this be suitable for an espaliered fruit tree? If grow in such a pot this reduces the height available to 1.8.m approx. Alternatively I could break out some of the concrete floor, dig out the mid-Wales boulder clay, add drainage and compost and grow from the floor. Thanks for reading and being helpful (if you have!) Happy Gardening! Chris |
