How to Tie Down Espalier Pear Branches Part 1/3

How to Tie Down Espalier Pear Branches Part 1/3 Hi! Here’s a little bit more about of espaliers. Can you come this way? The pruning of this is complicated. It is much more difficult than pruning of bushes. I’m just going to show you one piece at a time. This season, I have growth here okay but espaliers are about at horizontal growth. So they’re just growing up right and that’s fine. Now I’m just tying it in here. It just comes down there. Basically, we’re using some nice, soft garden string. This doesn’t last forever. That’s fine, it rot in the couple of years. Take it around twice okay. So take it around twice and just a strife for rift knot is all you need to do. Okay you can see that, sneak that off and there’s another one up here same sort of thing. Just taking that round twice. Do a bit gently, you get the fail of it try to avoid breaking it. Tie that progressively. This is all to do with restraining the growth of the tree and causing it to grow in a highly trained miniaturized form. Now I don’t want again to a long discussion about order of growing espaliers because it is quite complicated. If you go to myfruittwice.net website. There is—and find the section where it says, other people’s options. You’ll find where Western College has a lot of very interesting trained apple varieties there. So we’ve done this part. So this up right growing is working in the spring of 1st of May. An up right growth has been tied down here and this I’m going to shoot out from here. When this was set in this position, as if you plant back you see is already happened. This was another shoot up from here and then next is I’m going to shoot up from here. Next year, I’ll tie that down again. The same as here okay. These is a little bit wonk, that is why it should be taken straight. Okay this is real life, this is not perfection. This is what we’ve done and the pruning of this basically, you do most of the pruning in the summer and you go back and you prune out an excessive growth. This are going to be kept in a pretty straight line, pretty flat that’s growing not more than about eight inches from the line. All right, thank you.
