Citrus Reticulata Imperial Espaliers - 40cm

Imperial mandarin trained as an espalier is a productive citrus option for sunny walls, fences and compact gardens where horizontal space is limited. The flat framework keeps the evergreen foliage close to its support while still allowing fragrant blossom and familiar sweet mandarin fruit to develop. It is a practical way to combine edible gardening with a tidy architectural form, particularly in courtyards and narrow side gardens. The trained branches also make seasonal pruning, feeding and fruit picking easier to manage than on a broad freestanding canopy.
