Apple Orchard!

Grace Covenant Community Gardeners and Residents of Larchmont Apartments have planted 12 dwarf apple trees on their common property boundary. The dwarf apple trees—Red Fuji, Golden Delicious, Gala, Red Rome, and Ultra Mac--are the first of an edible landscape to be planted. Yet to come are blueberries and blackberries. The fruit and berry orchard will be jointly managed. The apple trees are fully dwarfed—meaning they should not exceed 8-10 feet in height and can be managed from the ground. The blueberries and blackberries should give a modest yield next year and, in 3 years, the apple trees should begin to yield a late summer to mid-fall apple crop.
