Wanted to get some fruit trees into the yard.
Stopped at the nursery yesterday and picked up a couple apple trees. (Mac & Red Delicious). Almost had to take a seat when he told me the price of $87.50 a tree. Got them anyway. They're a good 7' tall with a 1.5-2" diameter trunk in a 7-gallon root ball.
Took a backhoe and dug a hole about 24" deep and 48" diameter. Took out all the clay and crap and replaced with 5 year old compost (the nice black stuff).
Anyway, I'd like to get some more apple, a couple pear and maybe some plum. Too cold here for peach?
Where do you get your fruit trees? How big are they? How long before they're fruit bearing?
