Marcella, where is that dwarf nursery? I’ve been looking for such a place. I’m thinking of setting up a small “in syrup
pots” orchard of dwarf fruit trees.
I know what you mean about growing up with everyone who had canned goods. Mom and her sisters spent days preserving meat, fish, berries and wild “asparagus”, fiddlehead ferns. Just about everything we had was canned, jarred, salted, smoked and dried. We kids kept out of sight and quiet. I have sisters who still do it.
The link to the dwarf fruit trees is below. It’s in south Texas (the valley) and the trees are approved by Texas A&M.
