The above answer describes fan training. Espalier training is training a shrub flat against a wall or frame with the side shoots tied vertically to the frame or wires. The top is removed at the required height. the framework is then pruned annually after flowering to control shape and growth. Any shoots growing outwards are removed.

Growing and pruning against a flat vertical surface describes the way to espalier camellias. The woody plant in question responds best to espaliering at a tender, young height of 15 to 18 inches (38.1 to 45.72 centimeters) above ground. Espaliering requires rubbing away all but the three topmost buds for the middle to grow vertically before removal and the two side buds to survive and sustain v-shaped branching on either side of the woody stem or trunk in front of a fence, trellis or wall.
