Jay, do they have fruit trees on there agenda? If so, how can I plant some on our farm?
Treez Please doesn't try to deal with fruit trees. It's just not our area of expertise, and making them productive requires intensive maintenance.
Thanks Mary, We're already looking into the Arbor Foundation for the fruit trees. I wonder why with all the vacant land in Youngstown, there are no significant orchards?
We have apple and pear trees in our back yard, and unless those trees are pruned and sprayed they will not produce edible fruit. We just get a mess of small, rotten, wormy apples to rake up and dispose of.
Grow Youngstown is involved with raising food on city lots. I've heard that the group might be planting fruit trees too.
I was talking about an orchard that would be significant, not a few fruit trees on a 40X 120' lot. I also read that Grow Youngstown rec'd a significant amount of grant money, IMO this is not how you pull yourself out of poverty. And yes, these orchards will have to be maintained like the Amish do with their successful farms.
