I ordered American Plum trees through one of the local USDA conservation programs in March. I didn’t hear anything, so I assumed it was a wash because of all the shut downs.
Nope~!
They called on Wednesday to have me pick up the trees on Friday, and they had many apologies because the green house shorted them.
This was not a concern – I only wanted 10 trees, but the closest USDA conservation program was out. In fact, the only one I could find that still had them was in sets of 25 instead of 10.
19 trees is still more than what I wanted.
Here they are:
They’ve juuuuust started budding, so I’m hoping we won’t have much for freezes from here on out.
I planted 5 in the backyard, one between our apricot trees where one of those trees was eaten by deer and died:
And four in a row where we used to have a mulberry tree:
Here’s to hoping that they grow!
Do you have any fruit trees? What types of fruit do you prefer? I try to only plant items I like to eat. Inquiring minds want to know!
