Pruning fruit trees is an art. The method of pruning shown above is called "espalier pruning." By doing this, the gardener maximizes the space available, creates a decorative display and maximizes the amount of fruit produced in the space allocated. These espaliered trees were in a garden on the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia. Here is a link to an article about "How to Espalier Fruit Trees."
