I am wondering what experience NAFEXers have allowing sod to grow in 
around established dwarf apple trees.  It seems that no commercial 
growers do this, but I am wondering, would the sod kill the tree or 
just reduce vigor, fruit size, things of that nature.  I am growing on 
moderately fertile soil with drip irrigation.  Anyone else doing this?
