Is there no problems with roots when planting close to a foundation? I'm asking because I know Handsome Man will ask. ;-) Quoted: For instance, no prettier enhancement to bare house wall exists than to train an espaliered fruit tree against it. Interesting subject matter, well-written article. Thank you! doccat5 Fredericksburg, VA (Zone 7b) February 16, 2008 11:49 AM Post #4546030 Nope, fruit trees and many of the flowers do not throw deep nor invasive root systems. The French and English have been doing it for centuries. Google espalier, there are many examples of different styles and ideas on what you could do with these elegant creations. victorgardener Lower Hudson Valley, NY (Zone 6b) February 16, 2008 06:29 PM Post #4547621 Cool article, Cath. I'd like to do it along a chain link fence. An advantage of that is air circulation.
