An Orchard in our Greenhouse
The greenhouse team has been busy at work potting up an entire orchard worth of fruit trees. These trees will eventually be transplanted into the General Hydroponics Farm Lab orchard, but for now they are cozy and warm indoors.

I just received 250+trees from Dave Wilson as well. My regional sales rep is going to give a presentation on ‘backyard orchard culture’ growing fruit in a limited space with high density planting and successive ripening. check out http://www.crfg.org. I would like to hear which GH products provide the best results for fruit production.

Paul! Thanks for writing! What types of fruit did you get from Dave Wilson? Our specimens have proven to be so healthy and hearty! As for feeding fruit trees, Larry Brooke, the founder of GH, loves to use MaxiSeries on his trees. It’s an economical choice for covering big areas, and it offers everything a tree needs to make luscious beautiful fruit. Depending on your watering method, you can even top feed with Maxi! Let us know how your garden grows!

I have Pluots, nectarines, apriums, cherries, apricots, jujubes, apples, asian pears, pomegranates, walnuts, and blueberries that I orderded from Dave Wilson Nursery. Many of them are destined for my orchard and many will be sold. It is great stock loaded with bud sites and rooting in well. Would you recommend biobizz or subculture to the get newly planted bare root fruit trees a better start? I have started hundreds of hybrid american-chinese chestnuts over the past few years. Growing perennial food crops is great!
