Thanks for the great instruction. Could you do some follow up videos on the same trees to show how to do the next 1 or 2 pruning cycles please?

Can we see an update after years on now?

Thank you for sharing a citrus espalier master class, very informative and loads of useful tips and how's. Keep on growing 🍃🌿🌲🌱☘✅👍

Good information! But they should have left a little room between the trellis and wall when installing the support system. That way they wouldn’t have had to lean the tree back as well as allowed for better air circulation behind the tree. The literature recommends at least 6-8 inches.

Thank you for this video. How is it going one year later ?

What time of year should this be done??

[vivianmiketon]

Great video! Can you put those trimmed branches in water to force roots?

[janachut]

How far away those citruses are planted from the brick wall? What is the distance between ladder steps (wires).

[Wombatwrongbat]

This really helped me understand it quickly

[VelvetandToads]

This is wonderful. What time of year would you do this with citrus?

[anniecochrane]

Thank you. To the point and very clearly done. Much appreciated

I have 5 trees I want to do this with along a fence. How far apart should they be?

[LadyGoza]

I don’t think I’d have the heart to cut so much off. Maybe I’d pick a different design.

[lorimarinovich]

Can the technique be done with a fig tree?

[willowbe]

If my tree is already slightly big can I do this? However my mango tree not fully grown.

I am very disappointed that there was no shot at the end of the completed project. There should’ve been a step-back picture of the entire wall with both trees showing together. But other than that it was a helpful video. Thank you.

возле стенки будут заводиться всякие жучки паучуи, неудачное решение на мой взгляд
