Description
A 3D espalier in the shape of a pyramid. Several framework branches emerge from the base of the trunk and meet at the top. Each framework branch thus forms a ‘wing’. The number of wings is variable, depending on the size of the tree and the experience of the grower.
Features of the espalier form:
- tree without a continuous central leader
- several framework branches arise from the base
- each branch forms a wing:
- framework branches first diverge laterally
- then they meet at the top in one point
- fruit wood is grown close to the framework branches

Opinion
The wing pyramid with 5 wings is the most beautiful and most productive.
