Urban Farm’s Farmer Greg talks about growing an Urban Orchard!

Recap of The Great American Seed Up!

Farmer Greg describes his third of an acre fruit trees. Varieties of citrus, apples, peaches, apricots, plums, figs and pomegranats.

Experimenting with a fruit tree, there’s a big cost involving planting, fertilizing and time.

Planting decideuous trees in January.

Some success with papayas and mangos. Avacados don’t work.

Using fruit trees around the orchard for privacy hedges and fencing.

Keeping fruit tree small. Greg explains.

Selecting different variety types of fruit for consecutive harvesting. Different fruits ripening over time in succession so they all don’t ripen at once.

Consider chill hours, root stocks and ripening hours before planting your trees.

If a tag on a tree doesn’t have the fruit variety and chill hours, don’t buy it!

Dwarf root stocks don’t work in our soils.

Ripening times. If you’re planting soft flesh fruit tree, plant a variety that ripens and off the tree by July 10th.

Root stock and chill hours tags should be separate.

Don’t plant trees around gravel. A 6 foot diamater, 6 inches deep for healthy soil and woody mulch. Don’t overwater. Get a moisture meter to monitor watering. Don’t plant on lawns.
