Description
An inspiring design pattern of Slanted Palmet alternating with Horizontal Palmet (type: Forsyth Palmet).
The Cossonet Method consists of a row of espalier fruit trees with alternating an Oblique Palmette and a Horizontal Palmette (type: Forsyth Palmette).
Opinion
Fairly easy to grow and maintain.
Interesting combination for those looking for a compromise between production and beauty. Keep in mind that an Oblique Palmette yields somewhat more fruit than a Horizontal Palmette. Therefore, for the Oblique Palmettes, possibly reserve a little more space for the Horizontal Palmettes.
Tip: Place a 1-sided Slanted Palmette or 1-sided Horizontal Palmette at both ends of the row to avoid empty spaces.
