Compact Orchards
Maintaining fruit trees at a reasonable height is always to the home-growers advantage,
even when space is not a problem.
You get less ladder work, use fewer materials and have lower costs for spraying.
Not to mention an easier harvest...
"I have about 30 DWN trees in my smallish backyard. Flavor Supreme and Flavor King are to die for. This backyard orchard is in Burbank about 13 miles from the Pacific coast as the crow flies."
Tony Milch has helped DWN figure out Flavorella pollination in Southern California. This is his backyard. Here's a Larger View of the Tony Milch backyard orchard. It's big, so you'll need to scroll around if you have a smaller screen.
