Tecko says... I planted a number of fruit trees close together with the hope of keeping them to a height, say, of not more than 5-6 feet tall, and maybe spreading out one and a half metre wide, at most. (I haven't got any experience yet with this method of growing fruit trees.) I anticipate getting many different types of fresh fruit from my own garden. I am thinking of fertilising them sufficiently and giving them lots of water. Has any fruit grower out there who's succeeded in this method of intensive fruit tree planting? | About the Author tecko1 SoR, Perth 4th May 2009 9:53pm #UserID: 2184 Posts: 63 View All tecko1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I posted this in another thread, but it seems appropriate to repeat it here. Josh, and anyone else gardening in a small space, it's worth watching this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKhi1B2GCRg This is part 1 -there are further videos. Michele has 160 trees, plus various shrubs and vines, veggie beds and four ponds on 1/2 acre. Quite a few are grown in pots. It's quite surprising to see how close together she grows the plants, but they all look healthy and give them something edible all year round. It really is a 'food forest'. You may not have 1/2 acre, but you can still use the principles seen here. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 10th April 2014 9:04pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
