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.

    I’m just starting and the patch of land is pretty small, but I’m trying to get a mini food forest going in our frontyard in Northern Germany.

    There’s 4 trees (mirabelle, plum, apricot, pear) to which I finally planted “companions” a few days ago, a small hedge consisting of insect friendly shrubs, some Blueberry plants. Also a Magnolia, Cherry Laurel (leftover from former owners) and another unidentified big shrub. Also some flowers here and there, but most of it is still (former, unmown) lawn which is going to be converted step by step.
