Espalier Training

Pears can be grown as a standard fruit tree and are also ideal for espaliers. Any strict pruning regime that trains branches horizontally such as espaliering is itself a dwarfing technique. So, contrary to some "authorities" trees with full vigour, i.e. standard* sized trees rather than dwarf trees, are ideal subjects for espalier training. Espalied dwarf trees will generally take longer to fill out a given trellis area, but are satisfactory for smaller sized trellises.

*trees that grow to full size, i.e. depending on pruning and conditions around 4 to 5 metres.
