Have you ever heard of these 3 pruning techniques? I recently stopped by the Hagley Museum and was given a tour of their gardens. In one of them, they had trees pruned in these unique ways. These methods take some practice to master, but they can increase interest or function in your garden, particularly with fruit trees and other small flowering trees.

Espalier pruning involves training a tree to grow in two dimensions, usually along a wall or fence. It is often used in tight spaces or along the perimeter of a garden. The step-over pruning technique is often used to line paths, and trains trees to grow low to the grow and horizontally along a structure. Lastly, Quenouille pruning involves shaping a tree into a conical shape with main layers of branches that are usually trained with a weight or are tied to the ground.
