Don't Wait For Spring! These 12 Fruit Trees Should Be Planted In Fall NOW!

In this video, I share 12 fruit trees you should plant in fall instead of spring. It's a common misconception that spring is the best time to plant fruit trees, but many fruit trees actually perform better planted during fall. Fall planting fruit trees can lead to faster harvests and less maintenance. These 12 fruit trees should be planted now!
This video explains why deciduous fruit trees are often best planted in fall and how it can lead to harvests up to a full season sooner. It also explains one fruit tree you should never plant in fall!

FUN Fun fun!

[@heatherlove8898]

Do you know about this watering technique?The size of the lettuce is amazing kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-ai2qorJKYi6ssi=BqpBB_vMBBDhY30a

[@monicamallory2886]

Hi . I still don't have any trees because the companies sell in the spring time. Do you have any suggestions to get around this hurdle? This the second year I have researched and tried to purchase trees

[@tesswagner895]

​@@monicamallory2886Same here. Nurseries are usually trying to shut down and are selling mums/fall decorations

[@BossPonce]

I'm planting a lemon tree near the house are the roots bad for foundations? The only reason is bc it gets kinda cold here

[@fishingpinky3165]

Thank you for discussing zones. Many youtubers give advice but never reveal their zone or discuss the different zones like you do. I am in 9b so my gardening and seasons are almost the opposite of northerners.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Yes, it is important info. I always open my videos with the date and my location so it makes more relevant sense.

[@teresabrockett7525]

Yes! I am in 5b and rarely get applicable information I can use.

[@susangopher]

I am in zone 9 also and want some fruit trees and blueberries also. Making variety decisions is so difficult and I appreciate your guidance!

[@tesswagner895]

​@susangopher One under used resource is your local extension office. They can tell you what varieties do well in your location. Look under your local county listing in the phone book to find it.

[@renel7303]

🙋‍♀️ waving from 9B in Central California! What further complicates it is apparently many gardeners don't understand that the zones are related to low temperatures and freezes, not what your summer growing season is like. 9B is across the country and I assure you summer is different where I am, the extreme heat of Arizona and the humid heat of Florida. There's another KZbin garden channel at the other end of the valley I'm in. His climate gets a marine influence from the Pacific and is easier on plants vs my area being influenced by Hades.

[@SilverSaabArc]

Nothing tastes more like fall than Paw Paw custard pudding! The farm that my grandmother grew up on had a bunch sprinkled in the field rows in between Osage Orange trees. While my great aunt was still alive, we would decorate with the bumpy green "sage oranges" and eat Paw Paw custard in October. It was magical!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I can't wait until mine are ready to fruit. I'm crossing my fingers for next year.

[@rsschdd]

Just picked a basket full of Pawpaws three days ago. Delicious.

[@VaxtorT]

Here in Northern Maine, after decades of transplanting trees at various degrees of growth, I have found that Fall Time has proved the best time to do so.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It's certainly easier. It's the closest to set-it-and-forget-it, at least with deciduous trees. If you're in South Florida planting tropicals, that may be different because you'd actually want to plant them during the rainy season, but for temperate zones, I think Fall mostly rules.

[@micahwest5347]

Shout out for always including table of contents so I can go back and watch specific clips.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thanks! It's a long process to tag them, but it helps.

[@Sandra-Armstrong]

Another fun fact of the Paw Paw... if you are familiar with and love to eat, the tropical fruit, Guanábana, then you're in for a treat because they're in the same family and the taste/texture is very similar! 😊 Makes a great juice!

[@homesteadermom6398]

Miracle fruit....iykyk...😊😊

[@teresabrockett7525]

I think this was one of your best video. Thank you so much for all the information. I'm in zone 5b and had no idea I could possibly grow a pawpaw. Saving this to my Pinterest board. Very excited to rethink some of my fruit tree plans. 😊

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You're welcome! You absolutely can. That will be no trouble at all for a pawpaw. You can also grow persimmons like Nikita's Gift for a special treat that will ripen all the way into October, possibly even November. It's great season extension.

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

I just planted out about 10 pawpaw seedlings. I put them under my pecans to grow as an under story layer. I also planted out a bunch of native persimmons and a bunch of wild plums.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

This makes me nervous, because pawpaw trees do not fruit well grown in shade. They need full sun to fruit optimally. If you have 10 trees, it may not matter if production is lower, but full sun grown pawpaws make considerably more fruit. Some folks try to get around the shade cloth thing by planting in shade, but it bites them years later with low fruit production. Hopefully the canopies are not dense and it lets a lot of light through and the trees still get 6 hours of unfiltered light. You may need to thin the canopies if they don't fruit well.

[@tesswagner895]

​@@TheMillennialGardenerGood to know. I have never eaten a pawpaw, but after reading the comments, I really want one now😊

[@cherylhowker1792]

Thunder shirts are amazing I got one for my last dog and man the difference it made was unbelievable. I’m lucky with the Labradors I have now none of the 3 are bothered. If it’s right over head a very loud one does get a bit figity and cuddles are needed but I don’t know if she picks that up from me as thunder and me don’t go. Lightning ⚡️ sets my seizures off and my anxiety so I think the girls pick that up. We know my support dog does but she’s trained too and I think the other 2 pick it up from her. They take it in turns to care for me bless ‘em

[@karabean]

I live in central Missouri - last year in late Sept I planted a peach tree (it was about 4' tall) and got a harvest the next year, so this trick does work!

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

[@Searchingforthelight423]

Thank you. 😊

[@Madmun357]

Dale is SUCH a good boy. This is the year I plant a peach tree and blueberries.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

He's very sweet. We're lucky to have him. He is a really sensitive guy. Make sure with peaches you select a self-fertile variety if you only want one tree. Not all peaches are self-fertile. As for blueberries, almost all varieties need cross pollination. This video will help you with blueberries: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6fZi62pfd90ba8si=dq6FS-rTvT9ToiHZ

[@BigGaines]

You have so much wonderful information to share with us man! Phenomenal video

[@cdinaz]

Dang.. I wanted to plant a fig in 9b because in Phoenix we had 30 straight days of 110+ this summer and even the heat-lovers like figs and mulberries struggled. I think I'll still put in a couple of 15 gallon BdV figs and see how it goes.

[@georgegreek834]

Just because you can trick the fruit tree into making fruit earlier doesn’t mean that you should. Producing fruit is extremely taxing on a tree. Especially if it’s not properly established. The tree will make fruit when it’s root systems can handle the load of making them. You shouldn’t rush the process by tricking it’s seasons. Add organic fertilizers and let the plant do its thing.

[@joannc147]

Hope you did alright with the Idalia rainfall! Fruit trees are SO tempting, but I’ve cut a few of those off my list since some trees require lots of chemicals due to insect pressure OR they are too sensitive to late season freezes. I love my fig trees and Asian persimmon which are low mntc. I bought a “dwarf pomegranate “ tree/shrub from JC Raulston Arboretum - it sets ONE lovely fruit every year and that fruit is about 1” in diameter, adorable! 🤣🤣 Note that your state Extension office may list which varieties of these fruits are best suited for your region. Thanks for another great video! You are most inspiring!

Your Fall started September 1. !!!

[@itsarni]

I always plant fig trees in September here in Vienna/Austria and protect them if needed. The last 3 winters were 8b/9a/8b. I don’t have time to water figs planted in spring, especially older trees need a lot water if they were planted in spring during our hot summers.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

I planted my latest pawpaws in buckets yesterday as I cannot dig the holes right now... I have been trying to grow them for over 20 years now, losing several to lawn mowers, more to cold winters and more just dying on me... have 3 planted in the yard (two ten foot tall ones), two seedlings in old two liter pop bottles and two new 3-4 foot tall purchased ones in 5 gallon buckets. Finally have 3 fruit growing on one... still hard and unripe as yet... more seeds to plant.

[@Chichimomma]

You have kind eyes❤

[@helenerickson8455]

You get much better selection in late winter/early spring when all the bare root fruit trees are in stock. Also, the trees are much less expensive then too.

[@HappilyAfterEver]

Yes I was thinking this! I can get bare root trees for $15 apiece, vs $35 on the low end for young container grown trees.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

That will depend where you're located and what you need. It's true that most nurseries stock the most varieties in spring. However, a lot of online nurseries still have a significant amount of stock ready for immediate shipping. Local nurseries will vary. If the trees you want are in stock now, it makes more sense to order them and plant them ASAP rather than wait.

[@mt2766]

Thank you for this informative video! I live in zone 11b. I am preparing to move a small fig tree to a shadier, north-facing location. I hope it does better there… Your videos inspire me to to keep trying. 😊 Plus, I love the Dale vignettes. 🐶

Quick question: this spring I bought a Chicago fig (bare root I guess) and planted it in a 3gal pot. It's grown but seems to of 'stalled. My question is...I shouldn't plant in ground now while it's still warm here in 7b Charlotte?

[@jimriley9697]

[@ObsessiveAboutCats]

❤for the Houston shoutout! Today was 105 but tomorrow forward is supposed to be much cooler, highs of 95-98 for the next few weeks. I really want to plant some fruit trees but I've been holding off. Blackberries are at the top of my list! I've watched your Prime Ark Freedom video multiple times and will watch it again. I wish I could source a 2- or 3-in one citrus tree - a Meyer lemon, lime and kumquat combo would be awesome. The only place I've seen that sells those is in Australia and they don't ship to the US. It's awesome and inspiring that you grafted your own! #goals I've also been considering mulberries but I've never actually tasted those (nor Kumquats, for that matter) and I'm hesitant to invest all the time in a tree where I might not like the fruit.

[@susangopher]

@amanda- there are nurseries in the south that will ship citrus including kumquats to you. I'm in zone 9 in California but state law requires I buy citrus here. I love kumquats! Mulberry trees are huge and the fruiting females are extremely messy. I would not recommend them for a home gardener.

As for the Thunder Shirt, I linked to the exact product down in the video description. Dale weighs 60 lbs and he takes a Large. It fits him perfectly. The Large size is currently on a big sale for $24.99.

[@feuby8480]

As soon as you talked about fruit tree, I knew somewhere on the list would be the fig tree. I really like your enthusiasm about that fruit. Thank for the advices, it may explain some things I noticed, because I didn't usually pay attention to when I planted the fruits.

[@smilehunter2138]

Here in Washington State a neighbor of mine has a fig tree as big a wide as any fir tree. I'm so envious. I hope to learn how too.

[@renel7303]

​@@smilehunter2138don't overwater them. Get them established first then ease back. Less water condenses the sugars and makes for sweeter fruit. Once you get them going there is nothing more delicious than picking fruit about 30 minutes before you want to eat it then rinsing it and popping it into the fridge to cool down slightly.

I have heard that trees with multiple grafts often fail because one graft will take over. Have you made any videos that have parts about getting trees to be successful with multiple grafts?

Great info, I was about to get ready to plant 14 potted fig trees in ground as soon as fall started here in zone 8b PNW. I guess I’ll wait and get them woken up early and plant in ground after last frost date in spring now.

I always heard you can plant fig trees any time. My small trees always die back to the ground but I've heard you can mulch them well and cover them after they lose their leaves and they will maintain their branches. You can look on you tube videos for more info. I'm in zone 9A and the 3 ft. inground fig tree came back whole with just a blanket over it during the 28 degree nites.

Plant a few now, up pot a few. Plant some in spring.

[@yochanontheseeker1942]

@@randyadams7269 I have planted figs in ground in fall last year and they didn’t produce figs this year. So I’ll just hold off and it will let me give them a head start in the greenhouse. I have 10 or so others (peach, honeysuckle, chestnut and walnut), I can plant in ground here shortly. Lots of work always here on 20 acres.

HI. Thanks for another great video! For persimmon, I am pretty sure that having two trees will not help you much in terms of fruit set unless your second tree is a male - persimmons are generally dioecious. They are also usually parthenocarpic (females will set seedless fruits even without being pollinated), so when you purchase a named cultivar (either american or asian), you are being given a known female and should get fruits even with just one tree. Please correct if I'm wrong, but I think this is the case.

Should I try replanting plums? I need to relocate several trees that are getting too big, but I don't want to hurt them too much.

[@altonrobinson9102]

Thanks for the info. Can you break down the steal cables and their usage/ benefits

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I use them to trellis vegetables and fruit trees. But you can use them for whatever you want. You can hang them and run those decorative strand lights on them if you wish. I have videos on how I use the cables here: kzbin.info/aero/PL1gY7BoYBGIFLZ7_GvDMcqll1Sx6PS2jO&si=9_mW-evWDfQmOZme

Awesome thank you!

I planted a pomegranate during the fall one year when we actually had a lot of snow in coastal NC. That was a mistake.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

That tree may not be hardy enough for a fall planting.

[@youngmauro12]

Hey thanks for the videos. Is this only for transplanting or does this apply to direct sewing fruit trees?

Working on some red mulberry seedlings. A little late in the season to plant them, for me, but I need some advice. Should I try to keep them green over the winter, or let them go dormant?

I live in Vancouver 🇨🇦 which great tasting pear tree is best for a smaller yard (and how much sun does it require) ? Thank you, just found your channel 👍🏻👍🏻

My fig trees die back to the ground every year. I have 1 that doesn’t but it has never gotten bigger than knee high. A lot of people in my area have massive fig trees and I’m waiting for the opportunity to get some clippings off them.
