This video will give you an idea of what to expect if you are thinking about starting a food forest in the Colorado mountains. Our food forest is located on a northern facing sloped 1 acre property at about 7300 feet in elevation and is in hardiness zone 5b-6a. There was only one mature tree on the property when we started this project.
We have planted both fruit trees and shrubs as well as non-edible trees to help shade the edible plants from the intense Colorado sun and to also act as a wind block. Wood chips were added around plants to help keep moisture in the soil and reduce the need to water. We didnt use wood chips for the first couple years and they seem to really help the plants. if I were to start over I would use them from the beginning.
We do not have a well. We are using rain water for the majority of the irrigation but sometimes need to supplement with water that we hauled in from town.
