Pre-trained Espaliers (Collection only)
We will have a selection of pre-trained containerised espalier fruit trees grown in 12 litre pots. As they are grown in containers, we can supply them from August onwards. THEY ARE FOR COLLECTION ONLY. THEY ARE TOO BULKY TO BE DELIVERED WITH CANES AND STEMS PROTRUDING.
Espaliers are a tree form good for training against walls or fences. They have a single vertical stem with branches coming out in horizontal tiers. This takes up a lot less space than a round bush tree. For how to train espaliers, see our pruning advice page.
There is a small range of apple and pear varieties, available as single tier trees with the first tier
established at 12-18” above the compost level. They will fit comfortably in a hatchback vehicle.
The trees are grown for the summer in peat free compost with added loam to provide enough nutition through the growing season.
