Hi M.D,
Can you grow citrus in pots? I’m guessing it is not warm enough to grow citrus in Portland?

Wish we could grow citrus outside here near Portland, Oregon.

Apple – yes. Had condidered your espallier apple idea for a fence before. I’m thinking of grafting a couple together so that the limbs become like fence rails.

Or with pear, which grow nicely here.

Shirley – food, not lawns. You go girl! Thanks for keeping the idea of edible, beautiful plants on everyone’s mind. Another of my favorites is the almond tree. Stunning spring flowers and very edible nuts – even here in coastal Santa Barbara.

Hey, take a peek at my latest video blog (you know where to find me). Music, special effects (no dancing girls). Other than turning my camera upside down and being in desperate need of a steadycam rig, I’m off and running. Better watch yer back, chica.

Hi Shirley,

I’m a big fan of espaliered apple trees. I hope to have one someday that’s as impressive as the one you show in the photo. I’ve seen them trained along fences, but, aesthetically, I prefer walls for espalier.
