You will probably want to go with scheme #1 because the vertical shoots can be quite long, like 6 ft or so. You could try #3 but your main vertical trunk would need to be around 10 ft altogether! __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Would love to hear ideas on how to get brebas with espalier training. The only thing I can think of is not to cut all branches to 1/2 buds. Leave a few branches intact on each arm. Maybe the end branches can be bent and secured for winter protection. These branches can then be cut off after they produce the brebas following year. This wouldn't be a pure espalier training system but you would still retain the general shape. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

While this video is not specific to espalier, the concepts of pruning in a cool climate for maximum breba production should still apply: __________________ ============================ [B]Figaro Zone 10b - South Florida[/I] Growing: Black Mission, Strawberry Verte, LSU Hollier, LSU Purple, LSU Scotts Black, Cajun Gold, Panachee, Excel, UCR 291-4, UCR 143-36, Violette de Bordeaux, Ronde de Bordeaux, Calvert, Black Madeira, Col De Dame Blanc Wish List: CdDN, CdDG, Ischia Black, Galicia Negra ============================
