1.
What is Espalier?
Espalier is a lattice upon which vines or ornamental
plants are trained to grow flat. It can be used as the
palette for the plant material to rest; or as a conduit
to make the plant flow from one area to another. The
lattice that Wired for Growth designs and installs is
constructed with stainless-steel hardware and
stainless-steel wire or wire rope.
2. Does Wired for Growth provide plants with the
espalier that it installs?
Wired for Growth does not provide or install plant
materials; we will happily provide names of qualified
landscape professionals for this service.
3. Does Wired for Growth train the vines to the new
trellis, or provide regular maintenance or pruning of
the plants?
Wired for Growth does not provide any maintenance
services for plants; we will happily put you in touch
with a landscape professional for these services.
4. Why Wired for Growth? Can anyone install espalier
for me?
There are amateurs (from landscapers to handy men) that
are exploiting the popularity of espaliering vines by
providing cheap, primitive imitations of Wired for
Growth’s espalier. See photo comparisons below……
Amateurs, like those described above, lack the
understanding and/or concern for how easily they can
damage, and negatively impact the curb appeal or value
of your property - and disappoint you with their
shortcuts. Wired for Growth’s signature custom design
and professional installation (including moisture -
sealed placement of hardware) assures a permanent,
effective, and appealing enhancement to your property.
The level of skill and dedication to the art of espalier
is, without question, unmatched to that of Wired for
Growth.
