| What are your experiences with 4in one pear and apple trees? I'd like to espalier one possibly 2 trees on a 6-7' faux stone wall. I am in zone 9 and the wall roughly faces northwest with full afternoon sun. Thanks so much. |

| I am not a fan of 4 in 1 fruit trees, to begin with, so would not select one for an espalier. Just looks like too many problems dealing with such a variety in a confined space. Al |

| I have grown successful and very fruitful espalier fences in Seattle and San Jose using multi-grafted apple trees. The husband does not like pears and we only do apples. These are trees grafted specially for espalier- they are already in the flat form. I would rather go for the Dutch fence with different varieties but again, the husband is charmed by the grafted trees. PP |
