480-Designing a Fruit Tree Garden, with Susan Poizner

You know, if somebody gets my book, they can go through.

They do the exercises, which involves finding a...

I've got a list of fruit tree nurseries across North America and in the UK and Ireland, I think.

And, um, to find a fruit tree nursery near you and go through the whole adventure with me, starting from what's your location, like, what is your plant hardiness zone-

Yeah

... and going all the way through.

Yeah.

So if we want to start our fruit tree implementation in our garden, um, whatever our desires are, once...

You know, okay, let's get specific on that.

I want a, I want a medium-sized tree that, um, I can put in a sunny spot close to my garden or close to my wall of my house.

Um, but you know, those are a couple variables that I've decided I want.

I know that much.

But there's a lot more to know to get it right, isn't there?

So yes and no.

Sometimes, I know for me, when I started to learn all this stuff, I'm like, "This is too much.

This is too much for me.

I can't take it."

Mm.

"It's too much information.

How am I gonna ever get this right?" But then over time, you realize, you know what? There's only a few variables.

Okay.

One thing you got, you were right on.

Fruit trees pretty much need full sun.

Yeah.

The ones that we're talking about, apples, cherries, apricots, peaches, uh, you know, plums, that kind of thing, they need full sun.
