FAR-REACHING success
The term espalier originally comes from the Italian word spalliera meaning ‘something to rest your shoulder against’. An espalier is a trellis, wooden framework or series of cables on which shrubs, trees or climbers are trained so they don’t need a lot of space. If you don’t have a wall or fence to espalier trees against, you can use a free-standing screen made from poles.
