Fruit trees? can I plant now?

Well the fruit trees are always sold about now. I have planted loads of trees in February / March in the Midlands, they have all thrived.

Just put some bonemeal in the planting hole before you put the tree in.

Excellent time to plant trees.Fruit trees are not damaged by frost.Cherry tree could be planted a little later,but l would plant that also.In the midlands frost can occur in late april,so go for it

i've got already have been given some fruit wood planted right here. Cherries and plumbs. The birds get all of the cherries....bummer. The plumbs produce another 12 months, and are very tastey. I almost cried whilst my new neighbor moved in around the corner, and ran out first subject with a chainsaw, and decrease down ninety% of their apple tree orchard the former proprietors had planted. Being in the variety of rotten plant zone is the sole subject that prevents me. i'm in plant zone 4, borderline 3. In different words, we've loooong, very coooold winters. there is in basic terms a ton of stuff that isn't strengthen right here. i've got in basic terms been right here 3 years, so i'm nevertheless discovering. by using ways, alongside with the perminant variety plantings/gardens that fruit and nut wood are, human beings shouldn't ignore rubarb, artichockes, asparagas, many herbs, berry timber and flora, and a smattering of alternative perminant variety backyard flora. ~Garnet Homesteading/Farming over 2 many years

Fruit trees are best planted when they are dormant. That way the root system only has to cope with transplant shock and not have to support the top growth, ie leaves/flowers/new branches, the fall is best but the more time they have before spring arrives the better.

yes you can plant fruit trees now, they are dormant so you don't have to worry bout the frost, all nursery s across the south have them on sale now, the way we plant them is to dig a wide hole bout twice the diameter of the root ball, doesn't have to be deep , 4 or 5 " deeper than the root ball stake the tree on 3 sides to keep wind from blowing it over ,you can add a small amount of all purpose plant food for fruit trees,, read the instructions on the box.

Yes. Aside from Autumn, winter is the next best time to plant trees. Unless your ground is too hard to dig, that is. If so, wait until soft enough to get the proper sized hole and remember the transplant fertilizer to protect from shock.

Good luck!

Yes you can.I have 2 apples, a plum and an apricot on order which I intend to plant as soon as they arrive. Just dig plenty of organic matter into the hole and ensure a good solid stake to prevent wind rock.

container gown plants can be planted anytime of the year as long as the ground is not frozen and it is watered well for the first year.Be carefull with bonemeal as it can scorch the roots better to dig in a a shrub planting compost as this will improve soil structure and give the nutrients it needs to get established

Wait another month and the frost might be gone by then.

It would be best to wait until the frost is over and keep thim indoors for now you don't want to risk damage to them.
