A surprising number of fruit trees can be espaliered. Apples are most commonly treated this way, but the technique works for peaches, nectarines, pears, plums and even cherries. It's more work than standard pruning, but you'll kill two birds with one stone: softening the surface of a long, unbroken wall and making the fruit incredibly easy to pick.

An espaliered plant benefits from the radiant heat of a wall it grows against, which can be great for fruit. This is an espaliered apple tree.

Fruit trees and grapevines can be pruned now as well. Make good use of wall surfaces or trellises in small gardens by developing plants into a flat espalier form.
