I have watched this excellent video and the follow-up on pruning fruit trees repeatedly. I honestly have no idea how I stumbled onto it the first time - I found this video so inspiring that over the last several years I've planted a persimmon, a quince, and two european plums in my urban lot - they've performed very nicely so far (persimmon hasn't produced yet but I expected that with the variety I chose). I wouldn't say I'm a neglectful gardener deliberately, but I'm new to gardening and make tons of mistakes, do things at the wrong times, etc - I'm so glad to have gone with 'easier' fruit trees that have tolerated my learning curve well.

the speaker is both informative and well informed. There are dwarf cherry root stocks that can be used in the pnw and still keep a tree to 6-8 feet and productive- Gisela 5 is a reliable rootstock for cherry trees in small gardens

Well spoken but a bit condescending at times. I still enjoyed the talk though.

A bit?

Read Mark Shepard's book, Restoration Agriculture. It is phenomenal. (Avoid the videos until you have completed the book, they are incomplete in themselves and are meant to accompany the book.) The book is a serious new approach to growing a permanent food landscape, especially on a larger farm scale...
I know my parents followed a similar philosophy and it worked quite well for them, it wasn't non-maintenance but it definitely was lower than regular orcharding advice and surprisingly effective/productive.

She has two microphones.

[@chich3chich176]

I think one is for the video recording and the other one is for the audience there at the presentation

The speaker is sometimes borderline condescending to her older audience.
