I planted two espalier trees this year. They have two sets of lateral branches. I know want to start the third. When do I prune the main stem to create side shoots. Is it now.
Hi. I have read the rhs but still don’t get it. When do I prune the main stem on an espalier to promote side growth. Ie. A new level for my espalier. Is it now or in January’s.
“In November cut back the central leader to within 18” of the lower arm, leaving three good buds to form new central leader and two new horizontal arms.”
