You can now sign up for this class. There was a problem with the Buy Now button, which has now been fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience!

A ? for the teacher. I don't have a yard, but I do have a balcony. Are you going to tell us how to grow fruit trees in containers on balconies, for example?

yes..we will cover that. It is possible to grow small dwarf trees well on a balcony and even espalier. However you need at least 6 hrs of sunlight to grow fruit trees.
