Not all fruit is grown in orchards or on large irrigated acreages. Fruit trees and berry bushes can thrive and produce abundance on small patios, balconies and backyard niches. This book explains how.
“You are going to learn so much by growing your own fruit,” says author Christy Wilhelmi, a specialist in small-space garden design. “Even if the results are different than you expect, they will get better as your trees and perennial berries mature.“
This illustrated volume offers advice on selecting varieties to match the local climate and space limitations. Chapters on grafting, planting, berries, pest control and pruning are complemented by instructionals on staking, thinning, compost, and attracting pollinators. A chart of common rootstocks is included in the back of the book.
