Cox's Apples - Espalier?

Kerweey · September 2018

We are planning to use fruit trees as a boundary feature in our garden. We want to grow espalier apples. My Husband loves Cox's apples and I wonder whether they can be grow as espaliers and, if so, is anyone able to recommend a good supplier? Thanks.

Cox's orange pippin is not the easiest tree to grow but they can be grown as espaliers. Remember that you need at least one other variety to pollinate most apple trees (some need 3) although ornamental crabapples can be used if in the correct pollinatiing group. I would have a good look around the orange pippin trees site as they have pollination guides as well as articles on fruit tree pruning, like this:

Thank you. We're going to give them a try and will research a suitable pollinator.
