My garden is south facing, so should get plenty of sun shine
The trees will have to be free standing (not against a wall)
I want them to to have an ornamental element to them as well as producing a crop. I love trees. (not in a tree hugging sense though)
The garden is ~50' by ~70' (i think)
Im only interested in desert types.
Thoughts:
- grow two apple trees (?most reliable and foolproof)
- grow two plums (?high risk of total failure)
-grow a self fertile plum and apple (one might work), adding in an apple in a pot if pollination problems or ?artificial pollination.
