Virtual Espalier Guidance and Troubleshooting
At My Virtual Home Base
Live video calls are an opportunity to discuss your trees and problems in real time. Seeing your trees helps me give better advice, stay focused, and encourages more questions. I mainly use Zoom, but I can also use Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp.
Calls usually last 10 to 20 minutes and can be about anything to do with espalier fruit trees.
What do you need to connect with me virtually?
A Video Communications App
A Smartphone or Tablet
One person and a tripod to hold the phone or tablet and use a pointer to Identify parts of the tree of concern.
Or, Two people. One to hold the phone and the other to use the pointer.
Able to change the camera from the front facing (the one pointing at you) to the rear facing camera on the device you will be using. I recommend practicing so you know where to click to change cameras.
A strong wireless or data connection. If you garden or other location you wish to connect from does not have a strong WiFi connection, a Data connection works best.
A pointer with a brightly colored tip (see image)
This is one way to set up for a virtual meeting with me.
