Have semi-espaliered an old Nectarine of unknown type but the fruit forms on countless laterals that come of the branches I have set horizontally. How do I control these ever growing laterals? Do I prune them back to so many buds in winter so I have some control? All I have now is a jungle growing in all directions. Not looking a bit like Peter Cundall's neat squat branches with clearly displayed fruit. Have I got a tree not suited to espalier?
