Hiya, I've been trying to find a definitive answer without luck - is it actually safe to grow a fruit tree against a wall?
I've just moved house and I have West and South facing brick walls (new build, if that makes a difference as opposed to properly build ones from a hundred years ago!).
Seems a waste to not grow anything against them, but I'm really worried about structural damage from the roots? I've seen espaliers against a 10 foot high walled garden wall though, so can't be that bad?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
