 Re: Espaliering a magnolia
Hope it's a Little Gem, or it will be extremely high maintenance. They surely do install a lot of large-maturing plants in small places in Celebration. You'll need a stronger trellis, regardless. magnolia is a fairly good candidate for espalier due to branch flexibility and responsiveness to pruning.

good link sean, but the technique is much older than the romans; they stole it (and so much else) from the greeks, after alexander brought it over from the far east. |
