  2. Interesting. Imitation pear ornaments for the off season. Would definitely add a little joy during the long, grey winters. Will have to try that.

  3. My grandad had an espalier apple tree outside his breakfast nook. I've always thought of them as classy and urbane, using a south-facing wall of a house and training the branches to maximum sun capture effect. Because the branches are trellised, they can bear a whole lot more fruit weight, too. No thinning!
