Orchards can provide a low-maintenance and high-yield source of produce. As soon as you settle, it is wise to start planting fruit trees.

A crucial factor in orchard design is planting trees in close proximity and maintaining an active pruning schedule. This encourages healthy growth while maximizing space. The "Backyard Orchard culture" method promotes a bushy structure that thrives with tight spacing.
