Hundreds of fruit trees are growing in the Puget Sound. Some are well cared for, others go it alone. Some are decades old. How should you care for the fruit trees in your yard? What work is being done to preserve heritage fruit trees around our cities? We look at the tasty, and the worm filled, urban fruit trees. Call 1.800.289.KUOW (5869) with your questions.
