Summer Espalier

Join us in the HOEC Community Orchard for this hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of espalier pruning in the summer season.

Originating in ancient Egypt and later refined in medieval European gardens, espalier is a management technique that transforms fruit trees into beautifully structured, space-saving forms. This method not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also improves sun exposure, increases fruit production, and makes harvesting more accessible.

This session will cover techniques for shaping and maintaining espaliered fruit trees, optimizing growth, and encouraging healthy fruit production. Regular pruning during the active growing season is required to help maintain the structure, health, and fruit quality of your espaliered trees.
