If so, which fruits and other plants are you growing?

What is currently producing?

How do you manage the size of your trees?

Do you make compost, or do you only use mulch to build soil fertility?

Which climate are you in?

I’m interested to know how popular fruit forests are in this community and how others are doing it.

    Sort of, but it’s just getting started. I’ve got a cherry tree with three varieties, two tiny apple trees, a bunch of blueberry and huckleberry bushes (sadly, the huckleberries have not yet been productive), a couple of salmonberry shrubs, and a few thimbleberry shrubs.

    I’m in western Washington, zone 9a.

    I haven’t needed to worry about size yet but will definitely have to prune the salmonberry and thimbleberry regularly before long. So far, I’ve just used mulch, but I’ll be adding compost at some point.

    Edit: I forgot about my yuzu.
