Hometalk Fruit Orchard Tips
While we are on the subject of growing fruit I thought I'd share some photos from my little orchard this year. It is young the oldest of the trees are 3 years old. I don't profess to be an expert by any means but I hope to learn to grow wonderful fruits.
One of the pear trees a Keiffer Semi-Dwarf Tree March thru August
We have another pear called Ayers Semi-Dwarf but so far all it does is provide a place for bird nests.

Our Muscadines
Blue Lake Bunch Grapes
I also have a Fredonia Grape Vine which is a bunch bluish/black grape
Our Heritage Raspberry
One of our tomato plants
Black Mission Fig
Three of the fig trees were damaged from the cold winter we had last year. They are making a comeback and that is great.
I have Celeste, Black Mission and Brown Turkey Fig Trees
We have two Blueberry Bushes I can't remember the names.
We have Thornless Blackberries that we have yet to plant. I need to find the best location for those and not too near the raspberries.
I hope to learn a great deal more about growing fruit trees at home and plan on enjoying every minute of it.
Wow, you sure have lots of fruits and veggies.
ReplyDeleteHow nice it is to eat organic and know its good for you awesome
Marissa you are so sweet. I'm trying but have lots to learn about home growing some of the fruits. How are you and that precious family? Thank you so much for the compliments sweet friend..
DeleteDolly, you should plant some plum trees! We only have 2, but they produced a lot of fruit this year. We need to plant another fig tree. Ours was damaged by the cold from another year, but I can't decide where the most protected place would be. Pinning your clipboard!
ReplyDeleteHey Jane, I was just telling Chuck that we needed some plum trees the other day. I'm glad you had lots of plums this year! That is good inspiration for us to grow some here. Our figs are out in the open so I don't know how they will do here. Thanks for the pin.
