Does anyone know of a good how-to guide for someone who hasn’t tried espaliering before? I have been searching on the internet, and all the guides/articles I’m finding are about why you would want to, how it looks when it is mature, the different styles of espalier, etc. I’m not finding anything with good instructions on how to get one started and do the training of it through succeeding years
If it matters, the tree I’m trying to espalier is an apple and I want a candelabra style.
I was hoping here came some very nice and detail literature. But for espalier fruit trees it seems there is so little knowledge.
Here are 2 very good books special for espalier fruit trees. Hope u can translate the Dutch.
The first book is special for beginners.
The second book I really like, there are a lot of examples of types of espalier forms. Also technique how to train and grow the trees in the shape u want.
