Right. There's just so much that has to happen flawlessly to get the yields this guy expects from fruit trees.
In the meantime there's all sorts of blights, and rots, and fungus' and infections and cankers, and on, and on, and on. Deer? Birds? Worms?
Multiple varieties with different soil needs, and nutrient needs, and watering needs. And some fruits are only good for one thing, like canning or baking, etc. so you're only ever gonna have canned pears, or apple pies because the fruit is too sour otherwise...
Ugh, tell me about it with the sour fruits. I love cherries. My climate is far too cold to keep any sweet varieties alive. I've talked to multiple local master gardners and nobody has any advice other than "well, you could try to set up a microclimate that will keep it alive through the winter, but that's pretty tough."
