Fruit Trees for Spring
Spring is the best time to pick out fruit trees. Also this
is the time to plant. Most nurseries have what's called bareroot trees. These are dormant
trees that have been dug out of the ground and have no soil around the roots. The tree are
brought into the nurseries and healed in, put into loose soil. The trees cost less and you
get to see what you are buying. So get out there and plant your orchard. Don't forget dig
your holes 1 1/2 times as wide and 2 times as deep, and keep the graft turned to the north
and above the ground soil level. Doing this, the graft will not sunburn.
