Did you know that you can go into every big box store and most nurseries and they will sell you a fruit tree that will never make fruit? The selection of fruit trees that you can grow is vast – peaches, apples, apricots, plums, pears, citrus and more – but not all fruit trees are alike and discovering which ones work in the desert and how to pick a perfect fruit tree for your yard can be challenging. Join us as we help you navigate the key information you need to make the best decision for you and your space.
The long term health of fruit trees in our extreme desert climate depends on three aspects of loving and caring for your fruit tree: Planting, watering, and applying fertilizers at the right times. Plants need to eat and drink daily just like we do, so fertilizing them once a year just isn’t enough. In this webinar we will dig into getting your fruit trees planted for success, discover Greg’s 40 year old watering methodology, observe Janis’s soil types and watering solutions, and learn how to properly fertilize (both foliar and granular) your trees for ultimate success.
A new class on personalizing your tree care routine. We have been teaching how to care for trees for many years and with the extreme weather lately we’ve personally had to level up our care to adapt. Through years of research and experience, and the help of our trusted fruit tree experts and mentors, we learned what is working for fruit trees in our extreme climate. In this class we will explain what the basic level of care is for your fruit trees and how to level up and get healthier, more productive trees. You can decide which level you are ready for based on your time, experience, and financial commitment.
