Did you have any success trying to espalier a mango?

MP

I have been searching for info on mango espalier in the internet and I found a pdf document which has complete details about how to grow/harvest/prune short(truly short), healthy mango trees in the ground. Yes...in the ground. Since the tress are going to be really short, we can easily put a tarp on the top during winter freeze etc. I believe, the entire process is doable even by any amateur gardener like me. The document is from John Yoshimi Yonemoto, Japan Tropical Fruit Association. The entire document, I would say, is equivalent to taking a university course in the topic and thanks for their generosity in publishing the document. I am so.....motivated to start few mango trees in our yard. My best wishes to all the mango lovers who dream of having mango trees in their yards irrespective of their zone. Here is the link.
