Many gardeners and landscaping enthusiasts have begun to plant more fruit trees in their gardens and landscapes. The benefits of having fruit trees are many, and they also add a fresh scent as well as color and beauty to the area they grow. Buying a bare root tree will be the best option if you have decided to add one of these beauties to your landscape. They will produce better tasting fruit as well as produce higher numbers. A bare root tree is simply a younger tree that will already be grafted. Apple, plum and pear trees are among the favorites. First you need to research your climate zone and environment and research what fruit tree will do best in your garden area. After you have decided on what tree you want, you then need to choose a sunny and open space in your landscape area. Most experts recommend that the tree get at least a full six hours of sun each day. Before planting, you will also want to check your soil drainage by digging one foot deep hole and filling with water. Then you can monitor the drainage. Plant in the spring time of the year plant at any time you want. If your soil is hard and packed or more clay than is normal, add some compost to help the soil conditions out, and this will ultimately help the tree become more healthy and productive. When you begin to dig a hole, the hole needs to be twice as long as the root system already on the tree so that they have lots of room to adapt and develop once planted. Also loosening the soil around the hole will help keep the roots and tree stress-free. If planting more than a fruit plant them at least eighteen inches apart or more. Once in the hole, just cover the roots and press the soil around them and fill the hole. Then sit back and relax, all the bounties that will come from this!
