Getting you started on a new fruit tree

Now is the time!

Buy a couple of fruit trees and grow them

along a fence, a building, a wall. 

  It's not hard to do but MUST 

be started in a young tree.

It's not a big project

prepare the supports and 

Just do the follow up trimming and tying 

and you will have fruit in not too many years.

This is not a new way to grow fruit trees

In fact it is very old 

and these directions came out

of 

a very old sunset book. 

Apples trees usually are trimmed with only 5 main branches

so this is a logical use for apples.  

Consider plum, and pears also, though

any fruit tree can be trained this way.

You need to buy your tree in it's first or early second year in order

to start with a pliable tree.

Start with a sturdy support, all ready to go.  

You will not want to be building around the training plant.

Yes this takes 5 to 10 years to get smoothly trained but so 

do the big trees!

So with a couple of fruit trees, a couple of blue berry

plants and a few pots of veggies you have an

instant start to gardening.

Blue berries need another bush that blooms when it does,

Early with Early

Mid season with Mid season

Late with Late season.

There can be some cross over of seasons with success.

Pears need another pear tree to produce. 

Enjoy
