Prepare for the Fruit Tree Sale

This class is for anyone who wants to plant fruit trees in their yard and intends to purchase them at the Urban Harvest fruit tree sale on January 17, 2009. There will be a presentation with pictures of every fruit variety that will be available at the sale. In addition and of critical importance, there will be discussion on how to plant, prune and care for the trees.  

This exciting presentation is always filled with the exact information you need to prepare for the sale, and to help you decide what you want to purchase, where you will plant it in your landscape, and how you will care for your trees.

A portion of this class will be devoted to High Density Home Orchards which is a technique of planting fruit trees close together to increase the number and varieties of trees that can be planted in your space, and still get excellent production.

A booklet with the information contained in this class will be available. You can take it home and review at your leisure, and use it for planting and care once you have purchased the trees.”

Heidi Sheesley is proprietor of Treesearch Farms which provides most of the trees at the sale.

Ray Sher is a coordinator of the sale and an avid fruit tree grower.

Angela Chandler is expert in development of high density home orchards.
