The vine-like growth habit of many fruit trees makes them suitable for espaliering. The word espalier comes from the French and literally means “to form a palisade”.
The branches of fruit trees can be trained to grow flat against a wall, or horizontally along a fence or other support. This enables you to grow more fruit than you would if you planted the tree in the ground, because it grows more compactly and produces more flowers and fruit than it would if left to its own devices.
You can also use espaliering techniques on some non-fruit trees, such as ornamental pears and hawthorns.

There are a number of delicious tropical fruits that grow on vines. These include papaya, pineapple, banana and dragon fruit.
Here is a list of some of the most popular fruits that vine:
1. Pineapple
The pineapple is a tropical plant with long green leaves and a yellow-green or golden fruit, which can be round or conical in shape. The flesh is sweet and juicy with large, hard seeds at the center of each fruit. The pineapple has been cultivated since at least 1493 in Brazil and Paraguay. It was later introduced into Europe by Christopher Columbus in 1493, where it was called ananas by the Spaniards, who perhaps first encountered it on Guadeloupe island in the West Indies region. In English-speaking countries it was initially called ananas and then later pine-apple; both words come from Spanish piña ‘pine cone’ (due to its resemblance).
Many tropical fruits grow on vines. The fruit grows directly from the vine or stem, and does not fall to the ground when ripe. Vines can also be trained to grow up trees, posts or other structures.

Most types of fruit trees can be grown in the ground or in containers. Fruit trees are grown from seedlings or grafts. Grafting is a technique used to join together two pieces of wood so they grow together as one plant. Grafting is done to make it easier to obtain certain varieties of fruit trees that do not come true from seedlings or cuttings.
Fruit trees should be planted where they will receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day during the growing season so they have enough energy to produce fruit buds or blooms during spring and summer months. This time frame varies depending on the type of tree you are planting along with the weather conditions during spring planting season in your area.

There are many types of fruits that grow on vines. Some are tropical fruits and others are native to Florida. The list below contains the most common fruits that grow on vines in Florida.
Cherimoya: This fruit is native to South America, where it grows on a tree with dark green leaves that have a waxy coating. The fruit has white flesh that is similar to custard, but softer and sweeter. The cherimoya tree produces small bunches of fruit that can weigh up to 10 pounds each!
Passion Fruit: Passion fruit is a small yellow or orange fruit with hard seeds inside. It can be eaten fresh or used in desserts like sherbet or ice cream.

There are many small, juicy fruits that grow in bunches on vines. The fruit can be used raw or cooked. Here are some of the most popular:
Cherimoya: This fruit is native to southern Mexico and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is a large, egg-shaped fruit with a creamy texture and custard-like flavor that some compare to a pudding. The fruit comes in shades of green, yellow and orange.
Guava: Guavas are round or pear-shaped fruits that have a sweet taste similar to that of apples and pears. They’re sold unripe (green) or ripe (yellow). The ripe ones can be eaten raw or used in juice blends or smoothies.
Grapefruit: Grapefruits are about 3 inches (8 cm) long with an oval shape and thick rind that’s easy to peel off in strips. They are often eaten fresh but also used as an ingredient in recipes such as marmalade or cakes because they have an intense flavor.

Jackfruit
The most popular fruits that grow on vines include:
Cherimoya. This South American fruit is often compared to a melon in flavor and texture, with a creamy white flesh. The fruit has a somewhat papaya-like taste, but it’s sweeter and creamier than papaya. Cherimoya isn’t easy to come by in the US, but if you’re lucky enough to find this exotic fruit at your local farmers market, give it a try!
Grapefruit. While grapefruits are technically berries, they’re also considered an acid fruit because of their sour taste — even though they’re not acidic themselves. In addition to being delicious raw, grapefruits make great juice and marmalade. They can be used as an ingredient in salads or desserts as well.
Mango. Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits — they’re sweet and juicy, with just the right amount of tartness that makes them perfect for eating out-of-hand or adding to recipes like smoothies and salsa (or just plain mashing up with some lime juice). Mangoes grow on trees that can reach 50 feet tall at maturity; however, dwarf varieties exist which will only get about 15 feet tall at most.
