I'm trying to get my orchard lined out. I bought some fruit trees from a local nursery and they never took root. But they warranty them and I had to bring the dead trees back to them today. The only tree I had luck with was an apple tree I bought from Tractor Supply this spring that was half dead before the ground unfrozen enough to plant.
I'll take though. If It makes it through the winter I should be good.
I can't try again for the apricot and Bing cherry trees until next spring. The Mormon apricot trees are hard to come by here.
Its been a weird year for growing either too cold or too hot until recently. My blackberry and raspberry are just now starting to grow. Not many pollinators made it through the cold winter. Not a lot of bees and I haven't seen a wasp yet.
