    I have just ordered a Discovery that I want to grow as an Espelier. I'm worried I might have errored. It is a partial tip bearing tree ant tip bearing trees but elsewhere I've read it will be fine and that Discovery works well when grown as an Espelier. Does anyone have any experience of growing discovery apple trees in this way and will it be possible. Any advice would be great.

    Hi

    no error made, you can easily buy the variety Discovery to grow as a espalier from fruit suppliers . You just need to read up on how to train.

      Thanks @Spruce
      If there is anyone who has a discovery growing this way and can help with pruning and training tips that would be amazing.
