Planting advice for pleached trees, Freshly pleached trees, espalier trees and Freshly espaliered trees.
An important consideration when planting pleached or espalier trees in a straight line is the slope of the ground. Pleached or espalier trees look their best when they are planted on flat or gently sloping ground. Doing so will line up the frames and stems and creating effect of one continuous line when viewed at all angles. Even on a gradual slope this effect can be achieved. However, with a slope of more than 10-12 degrees, it may be necessary to step the trees/frames when planting (the frames on freshly pleached trees can be manipulated to account for a sharper slope of perhaps 15 degree if necessary).
