cricketk's Orchard garden

Garden Type: Orchard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay

Existing fruit trees in the backcorner of the block. We currently have two unidentified and all of them looked half dead when we moved in at the end of summer. They’ve had a lot of water since then and a blood and bone feed. I’m counting the fruit trees situated in other parts of the garden as part of the orchard, as I’ll be feeding/pruning/etc at the same time.
