What in the world got me on this espalier kick anyway? Well, I have really been bitten by the gardening bug lately - as it is nearly spring. We just planted a Santa Rosa plum tree in our orchard, as I call it with tongue in cheek, because it was only going to hold two fruit trees. Then, as I was wishing we had more room for more fruit trees, I was staring at the west wall which has some sort of unidentified succulent growing as a screen. That is when it suddenly hit me - espalier! Now, we can fit more fruit trees into our "orchard" using this method - what joy!
