Siting: Full sun, protected from wind but with good air circulation. East exposure is helpful to dry off dew. Avoid top or bottom of hills unless protected by windbreak or building. Plant where falling fruit will not be an issue, nor under wires. Many fruit trees can be very ornamental, so use them as part of your landscape design.

Condition: bare root

*Some plants require another variety for pollination, Eg. an Elephant Heart will not pollinate another Elephant Heart If there is another tree of the same variety & bloom time within 100′ you should be fine. If not, and you don’t have space for two trees, a neighbour can buy one and you can share the bounty!
