Fruit trees getting more popularĪt Grow, they’ve noticed a distinct increase in people buying fruit trees over the past few years. So I went to Brogdale near Faversham, home of the National Fruit Collection and Grow, the nursery attached, to talk to head nurseryman, David Morrice, about espaliered trees. That’s when you define and refine the shape. However, the window for pruning your espaliered apple or pear trees is definitely in January or February. The time to plant your espaliered fruit trees is technically between November and March, although these days, pot grown trees can probably be planted any time. Or they can be free-standing, dividing up the garden or creating a screen. They can cover walls and fences, using space that otherwise isn’t productive. Espaliered fruit trees offer lots of fruit while taking up relatively little garden ground.
As smart as anything from a Saville Row tailor – an espaliered pear at Great Dixter in February.Īnd in summer, they’re good space-savers for middle-sized gardens.
