Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Fruit Trees for the Home Garden
Fruit trees are a home garden favorite, and it’s challenging to grow good fruit in our WNC environment. It helps to carefully select smaller, more disease-resistant varieties and consider more unusual fruit like persimmons, bush cherries, mulberries, and pawpaws.
Craig Mauney, our presenter, is an Extension Area Specialized Agent for fruit production in our Western counties. He has years of experience growing small fruits in his own home landscape. You are sure to learn something new to help you grow those little gems of flavor.
