Growing Urban Orchards

the long version

You'd think growing fruit trees would be easy. You just plant them, water them, and wait for the harvest, right? Well, that's not quite the case. Fruit trees are delicate and need hands-on care, especially when planted in the challenging urban environment. Community orchardist Susan Poizner teaches you everything you need to know to grow fruit trees in the city, from choosing the right tree to pruning, feeding and protecting your tree from pests and disease. Save time and money by growing fruit trees successfully, right from the start. Susan Poizner is a journalist, filmmaker and gardener, and one of the founders of Ben Nobleman Park Community Orchard in Toronto.
