Advice

The sharp bends obstruct and push the sap flow extra strongly.
This is accompanied by a strong tendency for shoot formation on the ‘elbows’;
prune these shoots completely at an early stage (with a flat cut), to prevent excessive shoot growth at a later stage.
Neglecting this pruning will ultimately be at the expense of the espalier shape.
For example, because more drastic pruning is then necessary, resulting in large pruning wounds.
