In total we have about 30 fruit trees scattered around the allotments and the front and back garden.  This video is about the handful of them that are growing in containers.

Containers constrain the roots of the trees and as a result restrict the growth of the tree, beyond what would be expected with the dwarfing root stock they are grafted onto.

I'm particularly fond of the cherries, because even though the trees are old and unhealthy we've loved being able to open the kitchen door and pick fresh cherries.

We don't normally net all of our cherry trees, we rely on the local cats to deter the birds a little and we also pick the cherries a little early, when the are crisp and sweet, but not quite red enough to attract the birds attention.

My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence.  For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I'm not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!

Just because all my resources are 'free of charge', to everyone, doesn't mean they aren't good quality. My objective is to make sure that there's no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information.  I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/steveric...
