Espalier, or palmate pruning, is a pruning technique that involves shaping the branches of a fruit tree to create a flat and regular form. The advantages of this pruning technique are numerous, starting with the compactness of the branches, making it ideal for small gardens. Fruit trees pruned in an espalier style and facing west or south benefit from better thermal protection, significant sunlight exposure, which promotes faster fruiting, and good air circulation for the flowers and foliage, thus limiting the spread of certain diseases. Easy to maintain due to excellent accessibility, espaliered fruit trees only require pruning to maintain their characteristic form.
