I don't believe in fertilizers, although I did bring in all new soil when we landscaped originally, to add on top of the solid clay. Since then, I have been adding new soil occasionally, to fill in where it has settled, or when I dig out more lawn to make more garden.Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216858.post-20272718019746813352012-10-14T16:17:46.551-07:002012-10-14T16:17:46.551-07:00Jen - Yes, the espaliers are grafted onto a dwarf ...Jen - Yes, the espaliers are grafted onto a dwarf rootstock.

I keep hoping I will discover an apple I love in the tasting area, and then buy the tree, but so far I've been overwhelmed by the tasting and can't decide, or the one I like is "patented", and the tree is not available for sale. I'd love to hear more about your trees.Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216858.post-71899639475028268192012-03-05T10:24:41.709-08:002012-03-05T10:24:41.709-08:00We can only hope the two apple varieties we picked...We can only hope the two apple varieties we picked up at the Apple Festival last fall turns out as beautiful as yours.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455752000373769998noreply@blogger.com
