I had the same idea and looked into it and it wasn't recommended by all the experts. If you still try it... keep us updated on how it goes though!

I' mean going to try though it may be fugly as sin. It can't hurt to try, right? Worst case I *still* don't have any avocados!

I'm going to try this as an experiment. I will let you guys know how it goes. It will most likely be with a Lamb Haas a variety that I want to add to my collection.

I just picked up a Sir Prize Haas instead for my experiment.

Looks like a great start Nick. I am very curious to see if it works out! I will be following your experiment. :-)

So far the tree is doing great with lots of new growth I'll take some pics and post them

I’m excited to see! I have a few fruit trees I’m trying to espalier, but not avocado. What a fun experiment.

I am espalier-ing (is that a word?) a dwarf Cara Cara orange, 2 Improved Meyer Lemons, a pomegranate and a dwarf Nectarine. :-)

Hi Nick- was wondering if you had an update on your avocado espalier. How are they doing/ would you recommend giving it a try?

I took it out as it was not happy and replanted it into a 1/2 wine barrel.

Cori Ann how are your espaliers doing?
