Looks like it would be good to have. Seems like you can espalier a tree branch without using poles and cable. That is if it works like the video shows.

I use these from Temu for shaping branches, I am quite happy with these.

Also use these foam wires, these can be super useful and are highly customizable.

Yours looks better than the one in the video. That one the metal is too thin and might injure the bark.

Yea you can get real creative with ways to bend the branches.
I'm not really a bender, II let the trees go where they want.
If they get to crowded I just prune.

Yeah I’ve gotten those branch spacers on Amazon and they are pretty good. Lot better than using wood / cuttings themselves to separate them

That's very true.

I see the foamy, bendy wire at Dollarama all the time. Never thought of using them like this... Great tip!

That's where I got mine. You want the one sold as a roll (coiled). Don't buy the pre-cut sticks sold in packs. I think they are 10-12 inches long. They are different, very rigid and hard to work with and you are limited to those lengths.
