I had a pyracantha on a south-facing wall to prune regularly. Horizontal branches I guess 30cm apart?
It looked stunning all year round, but particularly when the berries were out. I used to give it a once-over every couple of weeks to keep it manicured, but only a few minutes each time.
I've also seen ceanothus trained the same way, and chaenomeles.
I have seen a photinia done which looked good, and have also considered a laburnum
EDIT: Oh Espalier trees not trees in general. Missed the most important word.
Sorbus aria is a good Espalier as used at RHS Rosemoor. There is a good selection of espalier trees at Majestic Trees, just had a look myself. Andrew Austin is very helpful 01582 843881
Would like to see how a laburnum works, I love them trained as an arch.
Photinia I'd struggle with. Large leaves aren't ideal for espallier, and most seem to be suffering from black spot now.
Sorbus? I've never seen it done, but it's made me want to try it!
I've always gone for small leaves and evergreen when trying anything trained so much it needs all-year structure.
