About this episode
Today we will be tackling our first ever fruit tree on the show, and what better fruit tree to start with than the ubiquitous apple tree. We've expressed our doubts about the utility of apples in the Revolutionary's Garden, but their presence across every american town and prolific nature make them worthwhile to talk about!
We talk about the colonial myths of johnny appleseed, various apple varieites, and some of the diferrences between root stocks, real roots, and dwarf and full sized trees.
While we can only briefly cover topics like pruning, we spend plenty of time on mulching, interplanting, and pest control for your apple trees.
And of course, if you like this epsiode, be sure to check out our other episode on apple cider, so you have plenty to do with all your fresh fruit!
