No room for a fruit tree? Espalier them next to a wall, below. Espalier is a type of pruning. In ancient times espalier was a necessity. Seasons were extended and more fruit produced. Ancients called it survival.

Basic.

There is more, below, forcing the fruit trees to produce greater amounts.

Perhaps you think the guilds are merely tufts needing the weedeater?
.
Do you know what guilds are?
.
Guilds are under the fruit trees. Guilds attract pollinators, increasing crop yields by 80%, without any extra human effort.

Do the math !

With a degree in engineering, and horticulture, I survived most of my adult life without those 2 facts, above. Instead, thinking, "Rustic charm."
.
Pitiful
.
Leaving USA after the horticulture degree, what- else- was- one- to- do, to truly learn gardening, I fell in love with every le jardin rustique across Europe & Israel. Created my Landscape Design Formula, Tara Turf, Axis etc...
.
My soul intuitively delighting in experiencing thousands of years, combined, in individual 'le jardin rustiques'.
.
Imagine my surprise when I looked up, permaculture, a term new to me.
.
There I found my dear friend, 'le jardin rustique'.

If you are just now learning these words, and what they mean, I'm sorry. The joys I've had, for 2 decades across European gardens has been one of my chief delights.

Wallpaper? Allusion to thinking espalier was merely a pretty-thing-to-do.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come.
Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.' Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.
.
Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'. Saved the article for a year before reading it. Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.
.
Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0. A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life. Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact. Signed up for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow.
.
Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method. Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.
.
What do YOU want?
.
Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.
.
Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.
Just so you know...
I welcome your input.
