Apple Tree Pruning

Example of Espaliered Apple Tree

Tillamook County Master Gardener Barbara Casteel gives us a lesson in pruning an apple tree, in this case an “espaliered” apple tree at the Master Gardener’s Learning Garden at the county fairgrounds. This apple tree (from One Green World) has multiple apple varieties grafted on it, and was planted in 2005. Espaliered apple trees are great for small spaces, and to grow along a fence.

Our appreciation to the Tillamook County Pioneer for producing this video.
