I'm looking to establish fruit trees on my property. Given only certain varieties of fruit are sold in stores. Where/how would I get samples of different varieties to taste test prior to buying and planting a whole tree?
Hello Fellow Plant People,
I'm looking for tips/ideas/advice on laying out a food forest on my property. I've sketched up a to scale layout for planning layout purposes. So anyone who wants to mark it up with their ideas can feel free.
I've done my basic research on plants I would like. My main concern in getting started is placing fruit tree's and berry bushes in their ideal spots to get them established.
Everything else done in planters/ground I'm less worried about. That I can sort out and move around through trail and error over the years.
