Hobby Orchard Central NH

Started this orchard in the fall of ‘24. The property is on a hill and sides so I put plants wherever I can.

The edges have rows of witch hazel, vibranium. Elderberry and hazelnuts that will form hedges.

The plan is to keep the fruit trees small as the hill is steep so ladders cannot be used. The trees are planted in mostly wildflower meadow.
