Gooseberries
« on: February 03, 2009, 08:00 »
I planted two gooseberries plants last Autumn and would like to train them as espaliers. I pruned them to a central stem leaving the first two side branches in place to train along wires. Can anybody tell me how far apart  I should place the next wire to train the next two branches and so on?. I would like to have,  say a 5' tall x 6' wide frame.

There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

I assume you mean what distance (height) apart the horizontal wires should be?

My RHS book says 15".
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
