Advice
For a neat appearance it is important that the cornering work is carried out consistently and precisely.
The symmetrical shape makes any deviation quickly noticeable.
This espalier has overhanging branches, which is generally undesirable. In these areas, more shoot thinning (or thinning of fruiting seats) is necessary, so that the remaining shoots receive sufficient sunlight.
