Advice

The Sloping Palmette is an important basic form. During its cultivation phase you can still switch to another espalier form. You can bend the young framework branches into, for example, a Horizontal Palmette or Candlebar Palmette. These espalier forms are initially cultivated as Sloping Palmette; in a later phase, the frame branches are put into a different, definitive shape.
