Default espalier fail

Last year I decided that the peach tree on the south facing wall had
enough of a trunk to stand up by itself. Worked great when there wasn't
any fruit, but then

And, no ladder needed to pick it! Of course can't get the car into the
driveway, but whatever. Nearly harvest time, then I'll get some spikes
into the wall and tie it back in.

This is a white fleshed variety called 'Mme Girard' that seems to do
quite well in our climate, the fruit even survives late frosts (not that
we had any this year) so long as it gets a chance to set.
