Alex Scone starts with ... We're in a suburban block in Scone NSW, we have reasonably chilly winters and i'm wanting to plant in three spots only. I'd like a plum, cherry and apples(not green apples thou). I'm torn between duo planting and multi-grafted trees, probably leaning towards duo but am very open. One of the spots will be quite exposed to the southern winds we get up the valley here. Which of the three types of trees would cope best/worst please. And variety suggestion's if we went duo planting. We like blood red plums best but enjoy all plums, love all cherries and gala/pink lady apples are our families favorite from the shops. Looking forward to growing our own however. thank you | About the Author Alex Scone Scone 22nd April 2014 9:03pm #UserID: 9846 Posts: 2 View All Alex Scone's Edible Fruit Trees |
