Are you thinking of planting a fruit tree? Fantastic! Like other trees, fruit trees are great for the environment – they clean our air and stabilize our soil. They provide shade and attract pollinators to our gardens.
But fruit trees do more than that. Each year a mature fruit tree can provide us with hundreds of pounds of apples, pears, apricots, cherries, plums or peaches. This bounty can help us save money on our grocery bills while also cutting down on the environmental cost of importing fruit from far away.
So why is it that many people are disappointed after they plant their fruit trees? Some say that their trees have never produced any fruit. Others say their trees look messy and have pest and disease problems. Sometimes the fruit is wormy, mushy, or it just doesn’t taste good.
The answer is that fruit trees respond directly to their care. Healthy, well-tended trees are more likely to produce an abundant, sweet harvest while neglected and sickly trees often produce disappointing fruit. How do you ensure that your tree will be the healthy and productive type?
A good place to start is to learn the five mistakes that new growers make – and how you can avoid them. So get ready, and let’s dig in!
