The Seattle P.I.’s Edibles column has been focusing on what fruit trees grow well in the area. The first column gives high marks to Italian prunes and describes exactly what we went through with our apple tree (and why we decided to remove it when we landscaped the back yard): apple maggots appeared here in the mid 1980s and apple trees are no longer low maintenance. The second column details all the things that can go wrong when you grow cherries, peaches, and apricots. I’m sure I’ll never see a recommendation for an outdoor citrus here, but I’m going to try an indoor pot of Meyer Lemon again one day.
