dwarf / multigraft fruit trees

Posted 647 days ago

We have recently established a vege garden with the kids which is going well. Next we would like to add some fruit trees, but are looking at dwarf varieties and those with more multiple types grafted onto the one trunk (we don't have much space for them with enough sun). Not citrus, as we have them already, but apples / pears / stone fruit. Does anyone have any experience with them, advice on what would be good to grow in southern Sydney and any other hints (pruning, feeding, etc)?

Do a search on the net for the Fruit Salad Tree Co. They could give you any advice you require. They will also graft trees to include the fruit you would like to have. They take time to be grown though.

Lots of luck.

I'm also interested in dwarf multi graft in half wine barrels. Possibly plum/apricot or a peach (is there a dwarf million dollar?) Has anyone had success at growing fruit in wine barrels?

Is it possible to grow asparagus with a fruit tree in a barrel or would the crowns interfere with the roots of the fruit tree? Is there any other vegetables I could grow in a wine barrel that would be compatible with a fruit tree?

I live in Adelaide and would appreciate any advice.
