espalier figs in high density planting...

  Enjoy!

Super! Thanks for posting. That is what I will try to do with mine.

Nice ...thanks

Thanks. That reflects a lot of work.

great ideas...thanks Grassa

Hi Grasa,
Nice video.
That guy "should" go several times in the year in that yard and report on the different crops.
Seeing trees so hard pruned is beautiful, but I'm not sure that they would really fruit a lot ... But still good ideas ( and surely lots of work, and expenses for watering ).
Seeing all the citrus trees ... Well, he is not in a 7/6 zone I guess .
I'll stick to fig trees, peach trees and pear trees - They are doing almost fine here .

Nice video Grasa!  Thanks for sharing!  What I see is a huge lawsuit.  This is a regular housing tract surrounded by concrete and brick work.  The roots of the figs will destroy the walls and sidewalk, and the slab inside the house eventually.  Figs should not be planted so close to a slab, and the one right on the house...the black mission is scary!
 
I only think of these things because we had to pay to fix a slab cracked from roots at my mother in law's estate.  To sell the home we had to hire tons of experts and pay unexpected thousands to repair all the cracks hiding under the carpet.  The roots will happily find their way to the neighbor's slab as well, and the retaining walls will start cracking too. 

I don't know about the roots of the plums, but citrus have some good roots.  The yard is beautiful and the whole edible thing is right up my alley, but lawsuits don't appeal to me.  I truly think containers are best for small yards.  They eliminate a lot of stress for sure!
