Just do the thing.
Let me put something out there that's mostly for my own sake. But maybe you can relate.
It's something I don't think gets enough consideration.
Growing trees in containers... Hear me out.
There are lots of reasons you might want to do this.
Maybe you're living in an apartment with nowhere to plant a tree.
Or
Maybe you own a home with a yard but you don't know how long you'll be staying and don't want to plant a tree that you won't see bear fruit.
You tell yourself,
"one day, when I have land, I'll finally plant the garden or food Forest of my dreams"
Or in other words,
"I'm going to put off building an essential skill so that when the 'one day' finally comes to implement the skill I won't have it"
Well this post is to remind you (me) that YOU (I) DON'T HAVE TO WAIT to get started.
Start something from seed. Root a cutting. Or just buy a tree from a nursery. Put it near a window or on your deck or patio. Learn to care for it. Practice grafting or layering with it and then when "one day" comes you'll be ready.
AND you got to enjoy the wait.馃檶
This fall I'm going to order some good bare-root dwarf rootstocks and then in late winter I'll start grafting some of my favorite varieties onto them.
