“I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.” Phyllis Theroux

I have always wanted my own espalier… and I finally have one due to my dear friends Allen & Beth. I recently did an Instagram live showing it to all of you! As you all know, I’m pretty true to sticking to heirlooms with a few exceptions, so I was thrilled when this tree arrived with 6 heirloom grafted apples on it! Yes… it has 6 varieties of apples on it due to the wonderful art of grafting. I personally have never done this, but I know many people who have with great success.
