We have spent the last five days working in the yard hoping to get the grass in soon. This is what I worked on its the fence into my garden. I was lucky enough to find the apple trees already espaliered. I put the posts in and then attached 16 gauge wire from post to post leaving a entrance into my garden. Then using a pair of old nylons I cut them into pieces and attached the branches to the wires. This fall I will do a little trimming and as they fill in I will have a beautiful living fence with fruit. After the garden is in I will be building a cute gate for my garden entrance!Have a wonderful day!

The espalier trees are a great idea! You've worked so hard on your yard and it's shaping up beautifully!
ReplyDeletejulie, your apple trees will be so beautiful at all times of the year. i love the look of espallier, it adds such beautiful natural structure. and well done to you being in the magazine, famous friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my what a lovely thing an apple tree fence could be! Here, the deer would be beside themselves! ;) The yard is looking great.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along and looking great, just think you'll have wonderul apples.
ReplyDeleteThat a great idea! I tried it with a persimmon a few years ago and just couldn't get it right. I'd love to find some already espaliered!

ReplyDeleteJulie I'm really looking forward to seeing your espaliered apple trees when they're filled out and also your gate when you get it done. I noticed all your large rocks...that's a lot of work getting those things moved around and you've got so many! It will be beautiful when you're done. I can't wait to see it finished. Take care...Maura :)
