One of the bits of horticultural knowledge that I always
wanted to acquire was how to do espalier in the traditional manner. I’ve had a
bit of a hard time in the states finding good resources, though I admit I could
have been looking harder. Happily, not only am I in a place right now that has
what has been said to be the largest and oldest espaliered pear in the world
and numerous other specimens at various stages of development to inspect.
Having so many to care for, Adrien is rather well informed on the topic, and
when I expressed the desire to learn more about it, I got an afternoon free of
the standard weeding work to get an extended lesson in the art!
