The 100-Square-Foot, 25-Tree, 5-Variety Backyard Apple Orchard Fruiting Wall!

Event date/time: 
Saturday, April 26, 2014 - 10:00am to 2:00pm

Mr. Jon Clements

Your fruiting wall will produce two bushels each of five apple varieties in just 3 years from planting using just over 100 square feet of backyard! We will spend some time indoors talking about site, variety, rootstock selection, planting, and annual care (including pest management) of your fruiting apple wall. Then, we will go outdoors and actually plant the orchard from start to finish including site preparation, fertilization, pruning, and tree support. Voila! Instant orchard. 

To Register and pay online with credit card, go to UMassGarden.com. Fee is $85

There will be a break for participants to enjoy a BYO lunch.
