Pears 🍐 have been cherished since ancient Greece! Perfect for fresh eating, poaching, or cider. Try espalier growing—training trees flat against walls for beauty & space-saving. #Gardening #FruitTrees #Espalier #Pears

Apropos frugttræer der vokser skævt, har vi demonstrativt ladet en Holsteiner Cox skabe sig ved indgangen til vores planteskole. Træet er fuldt etableret og kommer ikke til at vælte. Moralen er: Hvis du forstår hvad træer kan og ikke kan, så kan du have det sjovt!

Winter pruning on one of my espalier apple trees this month. I missed the summer pruning this year, so I had to play a little catch up.

We visited the Discovery Garden from WSU Master Gardeners. It has some very nice espaliers! This is something I've always wanted to learn how to do.

The first one (apple) is a low, accessible one, framing the accessible garden.
The second one (pear) is a more standard,
tall one, functioning as a fence for their large fruit garden.
