Ok Prairie, here's the pic of the Pyracantha. I had to do some welding on my truck today at the folks house so I got a pic and as the pic shows, the shape hasn't been kept up. There's a Choisya ternata in bloom below. To espalier a Corylus avellana cv contorta defeats the purpose IMHO. The whole purpose of that plant is random branches in multiple directions and not formal training. I could of taken a pic of my mothers tree which is about 15'. She shapes it into a lolipop which I think makes it look ugly.
