Want to save money on buying fruit every week? Growing your own fruit trees will reward you year after year with delicious, ripe, juicy fruit!
Here’s a tip: planting when the tree is still dormant in late Winter or early Spring will give your new tree the best chance of avoiding transplant shock.
Watch as Melissa from Modern Homesteading takes you through the process of planting a bare root fruit tree in her orchard. Don’t worry, you don’t need an orchard to grow fruit – you can plant a couple of fruit trees in your backyard and work with the space that you have.
Happy Planting!
