Three Tier Espalier Apple Tree
The Three-Tier Espalier Apple Tree is a unique and space-saving way to grow apple trees in a structured, flat design. This method involves training the tree’s branches to grow horizontally along three tiers of support, creating a visually appealing, compact tree that is ideal for small gardens or patios. The tree produces a variety of apples depending on the variety chosen, offering sweet, crisp fruit. It requires full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. Espalier trees should be pruned annually to maintain the tiered structure and encourage better fruit production. This technique also improves airflow and sunlight exposure, reducing the risk of diseases. While the tree can be self-pollinating, planting another apple tree nearby can help improve yields.
