Shopping for Fruit Trees! Garden Answer The: Happy memory! McIntosh apples are my favorite, but very hard to find in our area of Washington State. It was a delightful surprise when I happened across a McIntosh tree at Andrew's last year. (I enjoyed the look on your Dad's face when I told him I'd bought a tree. Haha. Maybe he thought I'd flown) After cleaning up from the event the sisterhood helped load it into my compact car. So much fun! I love having it, and am excited to harvest from it again this year. (Yum) --and of course to do some more shopping! All the plants!
PS- have you tried the Cosmic Apple? WA just released it at the end of 2019. They're delicious. For years my bestie has been of the opinion honeycrisp or bust, but the cosmic displaced it. Definitely worth the splurge!

ahhhh. these are gorgeous and will smell so good when they bloom! i want fruit trees but will have to be very careful and smart about what i get. dwarf only, preferably in a pot. i have a dwarf orange in my garden, and want a lemon and peach (but not sure i can get away with a peach. time to go to my trusted nursery and see what's what. i love the information, tho. even tho i have a difficult zone for some fruit trees (not enough chill time, there are some i can do. and i have questions! lol. #1: varmints. it's the main reason people here don't want them around: rats. ick. small yards so we don't want varmints too close to our homes. can't wait to see where you put these! what a memory you're making for Benjamin!

I just moved into an apartment near your area in October. Im looking to decorate my small patio. My apartment backs up to a High School parking lot with a big golf ball gym, which I literally look out on. Im trying to bring some nature to the patio. I put up a bird feeder and the birds are now coming to it. Anyway, I was thinking of putting a small tree on the patio (hopefully a fruit tree) do you have any recommendations of size of container and the kind of tree? You advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Laura! This was another very informative video for those considering adding fruit trees. I don't have a place for any, but may consider a dwarf peach. Did you get that from your parents garden center? I think I remember you saying that you had some peaches this year and, if so, were they really sweet? If I had the space, I would want an apricot and Italian prune tree. Do they come in a dwarf size? Thank you so much for sharing this!

Laura, do you know any other companies that might carry the set of three pot obelisks that were sold at Gardners Supply. I have seen them in your videos and really would love to have a set, and they no longer carry them. :( Also, I know you said that the concrete lighted lamp posts are no longer made, but do you happen to know where they might have anything similar? I have scoured the internet for both with no luck. Thanks! :)

Does anyone want to have the tickets ofNorthwest Flower & Garden Festival, February 26 - March 1 at the Washington State Convention Center? I have 2 tickets in hand I purchased on line, but I couldnt make it because I am having the business recently. If someone needed it, please let me know. I can email you the e ticket after you paid. $20/per ticket which is lower than you purchase at the convention center. Thank you.

Hi Laura! I'm a big fan of your videos. Thank you for putting the time into making them! My name is Kalie, and I live on the Oregon Coast in Lincoln City. I recently started a company For The Love OF Plants 4theloveofplants. com, and I host terrarium workshops on the Coast, and I'm also a Lincoln County Master Gardener. I just wanted to say hey! Thanks for all the plant knowledge, it's really appreciated.

Hi Laura! My daughter started a nature club at her middle school and one of their activities for Earth Day is creating a container garden in the school courtyard (Zone 6b. However, the school doesnt want plants that attract bees in consideration of student allergies or ones that require an excessive amount of maintenance and upkeep. Which plants do you think would work best? Thank you so much Laura!

I just shipped a few fig tree cuttings off to you! Most people do not realize we can grow fig trees in our areas! Granted, we grow them in pots and store them in garages or barns in the winter, but the fruit are so worth it! The normal varieties found commercially are somewhat bland. I sent you two varieties, a rare berry fig called Black Madeira and an early producing honey fig called Improved Celeste.

I see you still have heads on your hydrangeas. We live in Southern California and I have one in a container (with drip line) and pruned in November because new leaves were starting up. Nothing more has happened since and the leaves have browned some, but then weve had a dry Jan. and Feb. with some nights in the low 40s then get some strong dry winds for a few days. Any suggestions? Thanks
