Espalier is the art of training your fruit trees to grow against a wall or fence. Trusty secateurs in hand, our resident pruning pro, Anton Roux, will invite guests to admire the various espaliered fruit trees on display in Babylonstoren’s garden – apples, pears, quinces, and nectarines.
He will then get down to the details of the different stages of tree shaping in the espalier style, from year one to year ten. And then it’s over to you – grab a pair of secateurs and practise the technique on a tree that you can take home with you.
The cost is R1500 per person and only 15 places are available.
Please meet us at the Farm Shop at 10h00 for steaming coffee on arrival.
Lunch at the Greenhouse Restaurant is included.
