What makes these little buds and flowers so exciting?
I’ve always wanted an apple tree since we had one growing up. A couple years ago we planted one, but being the house that we are….why stop at one? Emily discovered a method of fruit tree growing called
#GrowALittleFruitTree .
The concept is that you prune the tree to be short and within reach so maintenance isn’t as much, just yearly pruning which is manageable, and you don’t need a ladder to harvest.
With this concept we have added 7 more fruit trees from the initial apple! In all, we have 3 apple, 2 peach, 1 plum, 1 sweet cherry, and 1 apricot.
Photographed are the buds and flowers of 2 peach, an apple, and the cherry!
