FAQ - Facts and Common Questions

Espalier - the art of growing a plant on a flat surface.

Question: Can one person perform all installation processes?
Answer: Yes! One person with a ladder, drill, and screwdriver can easily install their own Espalier System.

Question: Do we install Espaliers Vine Training Systems?
Answer: Yes! We travel extensively all across the southeast to install our systems on homes and businesses.

Question: Do we build custom Espaliers Vine Training Systems?
Answer: Yes! We create special patterns, conver entire walls, and create completely new outdoor spaces with our vine systems.

Question: How do you maintain the vine training system?
Answer: Each vine requires different annual maintenance. Call us with any questions you have about your vine species and we will gladly help you out.

Question: Do the vine training fixtures cause damage to the attached structure?
Answer: No Damage Caused! We design our systems to hold the vines in such a position to allow air to flow between the Espalier fixture and the structure, avoiding the onset of rot. Other than the holes drilled to attach the system to the structure (that can be patched if needed) there is absolutely no damage!

Question: Can fixtures help with an existing vine?
Answer: We have developed the fixtures to "control and direct" existing vines. Use vine racks for straight runs and vine rings for arch and asymmetrical shamepes and directions.

Question: What if you don't have any room to plant near the spot you want to install the Espaliers vine system?
Answer: We've developed our systems to help a vine "travel" so that the vine may be planted in one area, and grow towards and onto a rack in a different area such as over a door, arch, or garage. It does take a little more time for the vine to grow so that it reaches the rack, but vines such as smilax can grow as much as 30 feet per year while still being very easy to conrol.
