Pleaching

Hey; are any of you into this and if so is it easy sell?

I've tried, but like any high maint work it is a very hard sell. I've found espalier and pollarding much easier to get past the "I'll think about it..." stage.

It also seems to me that it is very species specific in application. You need to know what works in your area and will graft readily.
