Espaliering fruit trees
Can one cheat one espaliering fruit trees by removing a "horizontal"
from further up the main stem of the plant and grafting it in position where it is required lower down? I can't think of a reason so far but I'm sure if it's not possible then someone on the ng will tell me the error of my ways :-) Cheers, Alec Powell -- Alec and Valerie Powell Watlington Oxon.

No. Well, not with any hope of getting a usable branch. (Depending on how big the tree is, of course.) I can't think of a reason so far but I'm sure if it's not possible then someone on the ng will tell me the error of my ways :-) The best thing would be to bud a new branch on where you want it. If you weren't lurking when we talked about budding, shout again. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
