Trees with edible fruit are a great have for a farm. They are perennial, meaning you only have to plant them once, and once they start giving fruit they will do so for many, many seasons. Compared to other crops, especially annual veggies, trees need less access to water and soil nutrients as well, so they are easier to manage. In addition to the fruit harvest, trees can serve many other functions as well, including reducing/diverting wind, providing shade to ground plants, and providing shelter to many beneficial organisms
Today I went around the farm to find all of the different fruit trees growing here.
