7 Reasons To Buy Fruit Trees Right Now

[@BrothasOnline]

Great video! Gives me a bug to get the fruit trees I want now. Gonna definitely check out the big box stores as well as my local nursery. Had to add this video to my website. Great title, good presentation. Well put together!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

I so appreciate that! Happy hunting!

The best time to plant a fruit tree is 5 years ago! Great video and thank you for pointing out the importance of being able to grow fruit in your own backyard!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

So nice of you - thank you for the feedback!

[@OrlandoBackyardGardening]

Thanks for sharing !!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

My pleasure!! Thanks for viewing!

I am going to follow your lead. Will plans a couple of them next week! Any recommendations?

[@backyardorcharddreams]

We can grow a lot in this climate. To help me recommend - what are your top 5 favorite fruits?

[@backyardorcharddreams]

@tommymorrow9755 to follow up, my recommendation would depend on your favorite fruits and how many you plan to have. For example if you want to plant only 4 trees you might want to have fruit trees that will harvest in all for seasons - Tangelo, Satsuma Plum, Mango and a late season apple like Pink Lady or Granny Smith would fit the bill of spreading out your harvest in CA. If you go to 8 maybe add a Gold Nugget Mandarin, Sharwill Avocado, Donut Peach & a Parfianka Pomegranate. Lots of ways to spin it based on preference and space. Happy to chat with you about it.

@@backyardorcharddreams Very good point!

[@kl8878]

where are you located. I'm in NY zone7 i'm not sure it's a good time to start now.

[@backyardorcharddreams]

Lot's you can do now. You can plant deciduous trees like apples, you can buy trees and plant later, you can plant and set up your garden for spring.

@@backyardorcharddreams I do plan on getting some "garden setup" type work on milder days this February, but here in Zone 5, I would expect temperatures for the rest of the month to be below freezing more often than not. The ground briefly thawed this weekend, but I expect it to be mostly frozen again until mid-March. I would think that the good time to plant dormant trees is when the ground can be expected to remain thawed but you might still get some light freezes? For us, that means some time in April (or May).

@kl8878 Based on his video about Hurricane Hillary and all the tropical plants he's growing, I'm guessing SoCal?

[@backyardorcharddreams]

That makes perfect sense. Buying and planting are 2 different things and planting should be based on conditions and the climate in your area. Thx for your post!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

You are correct - SoCal

[@USCGCoasttoast]

Do you know anywhere you can buy in bulk? Looking to buy 50 trees.

[@backyardorcharddreams]

Not sure where you're located but try speaking with the owner or manager of nurseries in the area. They may be willing to place an order for you.

Ah yes. Let me buy a fruit tree in Vegas with a small 2 story 1200 sq ft house no backyard

Is this presenter aware that the YT upload info only tells us when the video was uploaded and not when it was produced? The presenter should specify right at the very beginning what he means by "now". What time of the year. Also take into account that YT can be received wherever there's internet. Also on the Southern Hemisphere and not just in Middle or Northern US. What happens if you want to purchase and plant fruit trees and live in - let's say Northern Queensland/Australia?? General rules for fruit tree planting should be presented. Or it should be made clear for what climate zone the advice is given.

It’s not that deep bro…

[@wkgurr]

Well, I'm not as smart as you are. @@maruitarro9629

[@backyardorcharddreams]

@wkgurr was filmed about 4 days before the upload date in SoCal USA. Fair point on the hemisphere difference. Good luck with your growing!
