Our container-grown Ornamental trees are accessible throughout the year, whereas our rootballed options are exclusively available from October to March.
Espalier Trees
Espalier represents a variation of pleaching, characterized by a more expansive structure compared to the typical suspended screen approach. In espalier, tree branches are extended horizontally in a fan-like manner, often seen with Lime and fruit trees.
