Don’t have time to nurture fussy fruit trees? You can still grow your own fruit…and you can easily grow more than you need. Become self-sufficient in fruit that you can use for preserves, pies, and juice—all without the fuss that many tree fruits demand. This talk will give you the straight goods on three often-forgotten crops: currants and gooseberries; elderberries; and serviceberries. If you’ve ever wondered if you could replace store-bought juice with your own, this talk is for you.
