New Fruit Trees...

This past spring, we finally planted the fruit trees we wanted to. The property already had two apple trees, about 50 feet of mature grape vines, and a large area of wild black raspberries and wild blackberries. We added 11 new trees, too. They are 2 apple trees, 2 peach trees, 2 pear trees, 3 cherry trees (two sweet and one tart), and two paw-paw trees. The trees were all bare-root saplings, so it's going to be a number of years before we get any fruit from the new ones, which is why we were so anxious to get them in the ground. In addition to the fruit trees, we also planted three other trees, an oak, a catalpa and a dogwood in the front yard. Planting 14 new trees is pretty good all in a 6 month period.
