The alternate convex and concave curves in the wall provide stability and help it to resist lateral forces. See also wavy walls as precursors to glass greenhouses for growing non-native crops in northern Europe: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/fruit-walls-before-greenhouses-walled-gardens-created-urban-micro-climates/ > Over the years, walled gardens flourished in places like Montreuil, a suburb of Paris, which had hundreds of miles of fruit walls for peaches by the middle of the 19th century. > The Dutch, meanwhile, began to develop curved varieties that could capture more heat, increasing thermal gain (particularly useful for a cooler and more northern region).
