Espalier Plants
You might be asking: what is espalier? Espalier is the term used to describe a plant or tree that has been trained to grow in a flattened pattern against a wall, fence or partition. Espalier is a useful technique to decorate solid, windowless walls on homes or buildings.

Many shrubs and trees can be useful as espalier to turn what would be an otherwise boring blank wall into a pleasant visual asset. Before selecting a plant or tree to use for espalier, make sure the mature height of the plant matches the height of the wall.
