In the Thomery System, each plant forms only one level; each plant has its level at a different height. By planting multiple plants next to each other, they together fill an entire fruit wall.

A series of Double Horizontal Strings, planted at regular planting distances next to each other, with the horizontal framework branches at different heights. The horizontal framework branches are at regular distances above each other, just like in a Horizontal Palmette, and lie in each other’s extension. Together the trees form a regular pattern with horizontal and vertical lines. This simple scheme is suitable for evenly covering a long wall with a canopy of leaves.

The Thomery System is mainly used for grapes, along a south wall, with tension wires along the wall. The simple but intriguing interplay of framework branches is only visible in winter (after the leaves have fallen).
