I've always wanted to have an espalier in my garden. I even had the perfect wall for it and an inspiration image.

Of course I'm way too impatient, so I planted Japanese boxwood and added geometric trellises in between each one. If you're a long time follower you've already seen what I came up with for the wall, but hang in there because I have been saving some espalier inspiration that I'll share.
I covered the trellises with climbing cardinal vine.
I grew them from seeds.

I haven't given up. Here are some I'd love to try.
My blogger friend, Ron, who writes the blog, Uptown Acorn, created an espalier on his fence with Confederate Jasmine. Not only is it the look I love, but also the scent from the Jasmine makes it even better. You can also find Ron on Instagram @acorncottageuptown.

ReplyDeleteHi Dawn. I'm so impressed with your patience. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I'd love to see a picture of it.
