About me: Recently moved to southern AA county on the water. Our new lot is much more shady than the last. We left behind the fruit collection and are dealing with hillside and shade gardening.
We do have an Apple espalier fence, a couple of multi-grafted pears (12 varieties), and lots of blueberries.

My zone is: MD
