Community Orchard 2018


Photo above showing the newest addition, a row of nine Triple Crown Thornless blackberry plants.  Below, they are set by temporary T posts just to keep them protected and have something to support their first year.  We can always add a trellis or some other support system at a later date.  

All these were propagated by tip layering backyard plants.  Natural weed killer spray was used to prepare the site, vinegar, epsom salts and dish soap as surfectant.  It won't permanently kill the bermuda grass but does pretty good on everything else. 



We had a very cold winter, a long, cold spring but all figs survived and are coming back from the ground after top winter kill.
