What's up everyone? How's it going? Welcome back to the show. So today I'm kind of following up on yesterday's episode where I was talking about my goals for the garden this year and how I can get as much production as I can out of my urban home.

Now my good friend Tony who writes into the show every now and then

he suggested I look into columnar fruit trees specifically columnar apple trees and

so as the name might suggest to you columnar column means that these trees basically grow upwards instead of out so they do not

spread can sometimes be the biggest problem when it comes to

deciding whether to grow a plant or not to grow a plant.

And so for a long time I thought that, you know, fruit trees were not really in the possibility realm for me maybe some small

dwarf citrus but apples it didn't seem like a possibility and so then I started

looking into these columnar fruit trees and it seems like they are a pretty wonderful option,

especially for someone like me.

Apple trees are really the only columnar ones on the market right now.

You can get peach cherry or plum,

but they're not a true columnar variety.

They just simply don't spread as much

as compared to other plants.

Okay, so what about these fruit trees?

They'll usually grow 8 to 10 feet tall,

but they will only spread 2 to 3 feet,

and that is what we're looking for.

So for me, that is really what I want. I don't want a lot of spread, but I want some fruit, right? I want some apples, I want some delicious apple pie, I want some apple sauce, I want some apple pudding, if that that's even a thing I hope so I would love to eat a bowl of

apple pudding right now I'll tell you that much okay so these can be a little
