Looks pretty, too. I've had a variety of old apple trees in my various yards over the years, some good and some terrible.

The Luxembourg Gardens, where you will see some FANTASTIC Espalier trees (you'll probably have to ask, as they're quite well hidden). And 2. If you then walk back into central Paris down the Bd St Michel, just before you meet the Bd St Germain, on the right, is the Musée de Cluny; the little known museum of the middle ages. Wonderful. Have a good trip.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-40008085074085865022013-03-24T06:08:42.972+00:002013-03-24T06:08:42.972+00:00Hi Cro!

It's actually a dwarf. We have a yard that is enclosed by trees all around and we love to garden. So we chopped down all our trees so we could have some sun on the plants. After many years we thought it would be fun to try to grow some espalier fruit trees and train them to grow against the fence. I'm excited! By the way-trying to come to France for the first time at beginning of April. Will fly standby, goodie, as I work for the airlines. We're excited about seeing Paris for the first time. Would appreciate any tips!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621530803562406216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-54732258871527933232013-03-24T05:56:32.970+00:002013-03-24T05:56:32.970+00:00It should be good in time.

I'm having to restrict my planting at the moment because much of the allotted area has to be dug up to install a 'septic tank' etc. Eventually it will probably contain about 30 trees.

They seem to have gone out of favour with the growers. My favourite these days is the Pink Lady but when you rely on buying them from shops you can never be sure of freshness and the promising perfect fruit on the outside often hides fruit kept in cold storage for long periods and full of brown spots on the inside.<br /> I wish we'd go back to only having fruit and vegetables available in their season instead of all year round due to storage or importing.<br />Your orchard sounds delightfulHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.com
