My Fruit Trees in a Small Space and a Contest

Fantasia nectarine blossom

Having lost my decades old plum tree 2 years ago I am thrilled to see blooms not only on the new Burgundy plum but also on the Fantasia nectarine. The Muir peach is just barely leafing out, with only a few tightly shut blossoms to be seen. But I have hope! Backyard fruit will again be mine!

These three trees are in the space my original plum occupied; I spent a fair amount of time trolling the internet for information on high density backyard fruit tree culture and I think I have a good set up. But when I get a copy of Fruit Trees in Small Spaces by Colby Eierman, I will be checking out my system to see if I am indeed good to go.

If you are thinking about adding fruit trees to your garden but are not sure how to fit them in to your space you will want to check out the contest at Timber Press, the publisher of Fruit Trees in Small Spaces.

Enter quickly and you might win your own copy of the book along with four other books from Timber Press. And to get you really going you could also win a bare-root fruit tree and 35 packets of organic heirloom vegetable seeds from one of my favorite places, Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply. As a matter of fact, we drove up to Peaceful Valley to pick up my trees just a few weeks ago and they are beautiful!
