My espaliered pear didn’t start producing fruit until I’d got three tiers established ... and then I only let it produce 2 fruit ... one each side of the bottom tier. I’ve found this book
https://www.pomonafruits.co.uk/garden-accessories/books/rhs-growing-fruit-by-harry-baker
explains espalier training and pruning (especially the initial stages) very clearly, and this book
https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/How-to-Prune-Techniques-and-Tips-for-Every-Plant-and-Season-by-John-Cushnie-Other-book-format-2007/88974766
is my other ‘pruning bible’.
