∙ 6y agoGrowing 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.
