Thank you for posting your fruit tree protocol. The only thing I’m not certain of is your “tree planting method.” This sounds specific and important. Can I find this somewhere else on the site?

The Bees and Worms are already in their starting blocks, the soil is starting to steam and the compost pile is ablaze with an odor of anticipation! Now, if only the ice would melt! Many Thanks from North Idaho! May the Best Squash Win!

Thanks Jon

We planted our 20 trees according to how you recommend and 20 normally. At the end of the first year, the ones we planted according to your methods are about twice the size compared to the others

Thanks

Would enjoy participating in the squash growing from an organic focus as you stated in your Acre’s Jan 2012 article, Seedling Vigor. I plan to share your very clewar seed saving guidelines with herb club members. Am looking forward to reading everything on your website.
Living on a former tobacco farm (central KY) that has not had anything except organic input for over 10 years.. Land grows wonderful weeds! Topsoil pile had great tetsukubota, jarradale and butternut squash with no fertiliztion.

Hi Christine,

Just a caution on the use of K-Mag with citrus trees.
Pruning timing may be different for your area. The rest should apply.

Interesting recommendation about planting a fruit tree’s predominate roots facing magnetic north. My large yard is already planted out but I do replace or add some fruit trees every once in a while.

I live in central Florida. Do any of your recommendations not apply to a (sandy soil) sub-tropical climate?

I have a passion for growing fruits. Wish that I could be there.

Thanks for this outline, Jon,

I would like to be there but I’ll have to watch the DVD. I hope you have a great turn out.
