Perfect timing! I just planted two new fruit trees, a Victoria European Plum and a pie cherry, the name escapes me. Thank you 🙂
This is fantastic information! Prune prune prune! My fruit trees look so much better after I got over the fear of pruning ❤
You share very useful and helpful information. I also have a garden, and I usually spend my weekends taking care of my plants too.
I want to see how you address the straightness of the main trunk… Do you just put in a taller central leader support and tape or pincher-pin (with a spring-type clothespin) to the taller support? Or, do you use guy wires to a cage of short posts around the central trunk? And, do recall that there are non-spring type clothespins that are NOT suitable for your approach to branch training.
Wow!
Great information. Thanks
I just planted 5 fruit trees. Thank you for sharing this technique!
My trees are leafed out. Zone 8a central NC. Is it too late?
How long do you keep the clothespins on? Thank you for sharing such a great tip!!
5:11 is when the technique is described.
At the 8 min mark, you don’t want 2 branches at the same point. They should be staggered. Othewise it’s susceptible to breakage.
I’ve been finding $23 fruit trees at Home Depot (Roseville, MI). I got 4 this year so far to replace some old ones.
Building milk crate raised beds around my lemon tree, Seth Lemon Meyers, and I want to try as much of an espalier style training on him as I can. I also have a lime tree, Sublime Santeria 😂
Can this be used on blueberry bushes?
Ah, the mighty little clothespin, it has so many uses. I also use them like a chip clip to keep my chip bags shut and to close the bag of cereal to keep them fresh.
