What fruit can you grow in zone 5? Come for a little tour to see our 3 acre year 3 food forest.

Thought I would make a little video/tour of our 3 acre year 3 food food forest.
We are still working towards permaculture. But we’ve got most of what we want to grow fruit wise in now. So next will come creating more ecosystems, and guilds. This past year we planted some onions under our fruit trees. It did seem to help a bit with animals trying to eat our small fresh planted trees.
We also planted comfrey under one apple tree, and one peach tree last year. That has worked AMAZINGLY well to keep the weeds under control. We can chop and drop the leaves as side dressing for the trees. Also the roots of comfrey grow deep within the soil, and pull nutrients up to the leaves. So when your using the leaves as mulch. You have a nutrient packed instant mulch!

Beautiful place. I can't wait to see how it looks during summer.

I plan to do another tour, once things start waking up more. They are just now starting to, so probably with in the next few weeks.

I don't mean to the bearer of bad news but a stop sign is an octagon in the bay window analogy haha

My marshmallow went berzerk and is rapidly taking over the back yard. May be better in a container unless this message reaches to too late. 😂

Wait to see if those nibbled trees come back from the roots. Use staked wire çages to prevent loss.

There are pawpaws galore in Indiana. Great tropical flavor. Lots of beautiful natives here. Wild blackberries are fire. Persimmons and may apples are good too, even passion fruit is native. It's probably rabbits rodents and deer eating your trees. I have the same issue. You are going to have to protect the trunks if you don't want to lose all of your plants.

Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet

great video!

[@evergreenwindshomestead3835]

Glad you enjoyed it! I’m planning to do another one here once things start to wake up. I’ve added a TON of new plants!

Rabbit poop is excellent fertilizer.

I'm also in zone 5 and just wondering where you buy you all you trees/ shrubs

[@evergreenwindshomestead3835]

We LOVE Jung seeds company for our bare root trees, and other fruiting plants!! They have amazing customer service, and the trees are a better size than some other places (like gurneys) that we’ve bought from. I also like the way they ship them. I’ve heard a LOT of people love fedco seeds as well. But we’ve never purchased from them. We also got our grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries from Indiana Berry Company. They are also a great company. I’ve been impressed with the root systems on what we’ve received from them. One of our bare root elderberries had a MASSIVE root system. I could have used it as a broom. 😂

Hi! Have you tried jujube trees in your zone?

[@evergreenwindshomestead3835]

Hi! I’m so sorry I’m just now responding. We have VERY slow internet here. But will hopefully FINALLY be upgrading with in the month, and I will be posting more! I have not grown them YET! But I’m hoping to add more bare root plants this coming spring, and that is DEFINITELY one on the list! 🙂

Why make a video specifically about zone 5 but not mention what varieties your trees are? “Apple tree” is not very helpful.

[@dandelion499]

The background music is super annoying

[@evergreenwindshomestead3835]

I’m sorry. I’m completely new to youtube videos, and doing everything through my phone. I’ve had multiple issues with uploading and editing. Thank you for your feedback.
