Description
Esylvania derived from U shape.
Both framework branches grow upwards in a zigzag pattern, with framework branches crossing each other several times.
Characteristics:
- 2 framework branches (by means of a T-junction)
- both framework branches are trained upwards in a zigzag pattern (with overlaps)
- fruiting wood is grown close to the framework branch
- li>
The result is a diamond-shaped pattern, also called a diamond-shaped pattern.
Advice
For a neat appearance, it is important that the bending work is carried out consistently and precisely.
Due to the symmetrical shape, any deviation is quickly noticed.
This espalier form has crossing framework branches and that is in principle undesirable.
In those places, more shoot thinning (or thinning of fruiting seats) is necessary,
so that the remaining shoots receive sufficient sunlight.
