Post #6437890

Later this week I hope to buy 4 or 5 container fruit trees to supplement my beginner home orchard. I have about 1 acre and so far I have 1 peach, 1 plum, 2 Montmorency cherries and an apple in the ground for 2 years.
About 500 yards away I want to try a pear, another type of cherry, another apple and plum. I'm open to suggestions. My preference is low maintenance organic approach. (Is that a contradiction?) I'd like to get them in the ground ASAP, so I'll have to make do with what's available from my local nursery rather than mail order. Any and all suggestions ad ideas appreciated. Thanks.
