A friend has cleared a large area to plant 9 container grown fruit trees, mostly apple, peaches and pears.
We found a good sized pile of fine sand, possibly sand used for mixing with mortar years ago. Would a 2 inch layer for about a foot radius around each work until the trees are established? He plans to have grass under the trees and keep it mowed.
It's a big project, he already has a dozed fruit and hates to trim around the base.
