Espalier: Tree Art

Espalier is the horticultural and ancient agricultural practice of controlling woody plant growth by pruning and tying branches so that they grow in relatively flat planes, frequently in formal patterns, against a structure such as a wall, fence, or trellis.
Espalier, trained into flat two dimensional forms are ideal not only for decorative purposes, but also for gardens in which space is limited.
