You don’t need acres of land to enjoy baskets of homegrown fruit! This Backyard Orchard & Espalier Guide shows you how to grow dwarf fruit trees—including apples, peaches, and pears—in small spaces using simple pruning as well as espalier techniques.
Learn how to choose the best dwarf and semi-dwarf varieties for your climate, when and how to plant, and the easy pruning methods that keep trees healthy and productive. Whether you’re working with a sunny fence line, patio, or compact garden, this guide makes it simple to plan a beautiful, productive backyard orchard full of flavor and charm.
Each plan comes with its own specific set of instructions, plant list, and scale.
The plans include one version with and without the scale overlay to make reading and planting a breeze!
The guides are self-explanatory and contain in-depth information about each topic.
