This week’s guest on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast is Tom Spellman of Dave Wilson Nursery. He shares his best tips for growing fruit trees for a successive harvest over several months up to year-round. We chat about his passion for Backyard Orchard Culture techniques and how to get the most out of your growing space.
