Fruit Trees & Berries for the Urban Landscape

“Our Northern Virginia soil and temperatures are well-suited for growing fruit. Learn tips and techniques to successfully nurture commonly grown fruit trees and shrubs and cane fruit in your own yard, including apples, cherries, peaches, nectarines, figs, pears, blueberries, and more. We will discuss best practices for assessing your site, pruning, watering and fertilizing, integrated pest management, and other ideas for maximizing your harvest.
