How to Espalier Fruit Trees with Scott Hitchins - online

Discover the art of espalier and learn how to grow more fruit in less space!

Join Scott Hitchins from the Werribee Park Heritage Orchard for an online webinar exploring how to train fruit trees to grow flat against walls, fences, and support frames. Ideal for small gardens, espaliered trees are highly productive, easy to maintain, and can even support multiple fruit varieties on a single tree.

This practical session will cover tree selection and establishment, support structures, irrigation, pruning techniques, and the basics of grafting. Whether you're looking to maximise a compact garden or add a productive feature to your backyard, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to get started.
