Commonly Asked Questions

How do I look after my Apple Espalier?

Espaliered fruit will continue to grow beyond the current lattice. You can snip off the existing lattice to attach a larger lattice or an additional one. Espaliered fruit grows well along guide wires also. Plants can also be pruned back to smaller sizes to suit compact gardens.

How do I get my Apple Espalier to produce delicious fruit?

A well-hydrated plant will produce juicy fruit. The location of the Espalier is especially important, as stone fruit will prefer a full sun location. Look into disease prevention to ensure your plant is healthy and use a gentle fertiliser suitable for apples. Good draining is also necessary, as apples don’t like wet roots. A layer of mulch will also help keep the moisture in the soil. Pruning will also encourage good apple production. Apples and Pears require two different varieties to be planted either in the same garden or in neighboring gardens, this will encourage the bees to cross pollinate and the plant to product juicy and delicious fruit. If you are selecting an espalier that has already been double planted, the cross pollination is already taken care of and only 1 plant is required.

When do Apples produce fruit?

It can take a good couple of years for stone fruit to produce their first crop of fruit; be patient and look after your plant’s health, and you will be rewarded. Apples produce fruit in Autumn, however this will also depend on the apple variety.
