Espalier Art: Train Trees & Shrubs into Living Sculptures

Espalier trains plants flat against a support in formal patterns—fans, cordons, Belgian fence, or custom designs. It saves space, eases harvest, and creates garden art.

Inspiration: Pearl Fryar's topiary garden in Bishopville, SC. Resources: "The Art of Espalier Fruit Trees" for fruit-specific techniques.

Gallery includes espaliered pear, juniper, and Fryar's whimsical creations.
