Hello All,

Espieler question...

I am in the second year of a crabapple espieler. Training and pruning main branches is going well.

My question is the secondary branches growing away from the wall. Should branches be removed that grow outside the desired shape, as necessary throughout the growing season, or left for annual spring pruning?

I do not want the energy wasted on branches that will be removed, while the tree is still being trained to it's espieler frame.

Experience, opinions?

Thanks,
Tom
