The Urban Farm: What you need to know before you buy a Fruit Tree

My favorite thing to grow is a fruit tree – you plant it once and reap a bounty for decades. But did you know that you can go into every big box store and most nurseries and they will sell you a fruit tree that will never make fruit? And that made me mad so I started teaching people about how to avoid the pitfalls.

The selection of fruit trees that you can grow is vast – peaches, apples, apricots, plums, pears, citrus and more – but not all fruit trees are alike and discovering which ones work in the desert and how to pick a perfect fruit tree for your yard can be challenging.
