If it is the look you are after more than the exact tree, then peaches, plums, almonds, cherry, pears, apples, nectarines will all be able to be grown in that fashion. many others too the ornamental varieties will flower better than the fruiting. Re: What are these called? 7Apr 21, 2009 6:49 pm Sorry to rehash an old topic guys, but I have decided that I would like a row of trees like the first image. Just wondering if anyone knows where in Melbourne I would buy them from and when is best to plant them? She's backkkkk... Re: What are these called? 8Apr 21, 2009 6:56 pm woah that's a really pretty tree! I cant help you out, but I would also love to get some info on it. Sorry to hijack, but if we get an ornamental tree, how often and for how long will the flowers be there before it fruits? How high do they grow?

The only hassle will be choosing which one They all have the same sort of flower. I do suggest to at least pick something that isn't ornamental so at least you will have a productive espalier. Check out the Flemings page for some great ideas. Your local garden centre will be able to order them for you http://www.flemings.com.au/fruiting.asp Check the cherries, plums, nectarines, peaches and pears and apples will also look just like that pic Re: What are these called? 11Apr 21, 2009 11:33 pm wonderland woah that's a really pretty tree! I cant help you out, but I would also love to get some info on it. Sorry to hijack, but if we get an ornamental tree, how often and for how long will the flowers be there before it fruits? How high do they grow? Thanks The art of espalier is that you make it grow like that. Lots of clipping and shaping. It will take years to achieve it but all that work will make the fence line one in a million! You will also get a heap of satisfaction from it The fruiting varieties flower just as well as ornamentals. The ornamentals just give you a flower show with nothing from it. At least a fruiting variety will be productive too! Imagine all the cherries you could eat! Or do it with a variety of different trees. that way you get the same flower and trunk look but a fruit salad Flower will also appear through a longer time frame that way Re: What are these called? 12Apr 22, 2009 9:37 am Thanks Fu for that great advice!!!

Sooo do I buy little trees and then continually clip them in order for them to growm up like that? Is that what you mean? What is an ornamental tree? (Sorry I'm not as stupid as this post makes me sound, I am just utterly clueless in garden related matters!) She's backkkkk... Re: What are these called? 14Apr 22, 2009 11:24 am Sharee Thanks Fu.

(Sorry I'm not as stupid as this post makes me sound, I am just utterly clueless in garden related matters!) I would say that if you want to prune them to grow a certain way, like along lattice etc, you need to get a tree that isn't too advanced so that you can move it's branches into the weaving of the lattice. If you go to a nursery and take a look at some I think it will make more sense. An Ornamental is one that looks the same but doesn't grow the fruit. So you can get ornamental plum tree's and they flower and look the same but don't grow the fruit. Like Fu said, there are lots of plants that come as ornamental's and so they only flower and not fruit. 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

I'm thinking the ornamental pear (sorry fu, not interested in the fruit ) called 'capital' might be good? Just wondering if anyone can help me with identifying the smaller green plants pictured at the bottom of the trees in the first image? (yep I'm going to copy the whole garden ) She's backkkkk...

What is an ornamental tree? (Sorry I'm not as stupid as this post makes me sound, I am just utterly clueless in garden related matters!) are you sure????? Heh heh, OK I believe you I will PM you an email address of a chap who is one of the best in the world (we reckon) at Topiary. He knows all there is about it. Espalier is really easy to do You will have a ball doing it I should hit him up to join us here He used to do articles for the now non existent WA Gardener magazine. I must get onto someone who can help convert a DVD of his to a format we can download in clarity to Youtube. That would help you as well Can anyone help? I'll start a new thread about it Now you best not buy them espaliered beacuse that is really expensive and won't be as good as when you do it As I said, don't consider ornamentals. Get something that will bear fruit that you will love. Do a cherry, a Peach, a nectarine, an almond, A pear , a plum and maybe chuck in an apple if you have the room Yummo! They will all look much the same in flower but the leaves will be a little different. It will still look bloody incredible! It's a very unusual way of finishing a barge board. I'd say it was done by a handyman rather than a carpenter as there would normally be the barge and a scribe and no… 3 1946 |
