Our fruit trees finally arrived. We ordered them from Gurneys on May 7th!! Could not pass them up as they were 60% off but who know it would take almost one month for them to arrive. The three trees came in one large and long box with all the supplies you need to get them off to a good start.
We had pre dug the holes since we knew they were coming, so all we needed to do was put them in the hole and fill in with dirt and our fresh compost!! We gently placed them in the holes began to back fill and sprinkled with 2 ounces of pelletized calcium. Then watered well!!
The trees are about 3 - 4 feet in height right now but should reach 25 feet at maturity. As soon as we start to see some leave we will fertilize with a fertilizer made just for fruit trees. Keep your fingers crossed in a couple of years we should be able to eat some Granny Smith Apples, Bartlett Pears and Stella Sweet Cherries!
