Home Depot trees are in, very cold outside
Comments (13)Yeah I picked up a Ranger and Elberta peach last fall from HD for $5 each. cant beat that. I usually look for the Nursery tag. Most often the store tag just says generic stuff. The ones I got last fall the store tag just said peach. Hopefull the nursery tag is right. i dont know what ill do. I hate that I dont know how dormant they were and where they came from. I do know that they will have more come later and Lowes hasnt got theirs yet and they usually have good ones too. Fruit trees here always sell in the $19- $23 range so is not that this is a good deal for out area. I just want first pick. LOL. They do have some that I have never seen here before so i may take a chance on one of those....See MoreI need large pots for all my fruit trees
Comments (8)I grow citrus in containers and they tend to need re-potting often. Bark based media is the cheapest in this area but it tends to break down in a year or so. My back explained to me that lifting large trees in and out of pots was something only young people should be doing so I came up with a plan. Instead of real pots, I make these wire mesh cages that I line with landscape fabric and fill with media. The wire mesh is sold as rabbit cage wire or hardware cloth. I get the 30 inch tall roll and take an 8 foot section and loop it around to form a ring which I bind together with zip ties. When the trees start to show signs of needing new soil I can snip the plastic zip ties used to hold the whole thing together, peel back the fabric and carve away old soil. It sort of root prunes and freshens soil all in one easy motion. The drawbacks are that the "pots" take an obscene amount of media to fill and that you really can't move them. If your trees make a dense web of roots (like citrus can) then after a year or so you probably can scoot it across the floor by pushing on one side. I haven't tried that yet....See MoreWhere is a good place to buy fruit trees in california
Comments (4)dittos for Dave Wilson. Great nursery. Find a nursery in your area that participates in they special order program (the Dave Wilson web site below can help you locate one) They take orders for as little as one of any variety about this time of year. Then they all come in during the winter as bare root. It's a great way to get some of they varieties that are hard to find and hard to get. You just need to plan ahead a bit and order early and wait for them to come in. http://www.davewilson.com/br40/retailers/SOFT_dealers.html...See MoreUltra-dwarf fruit trees
Comments (13)I have grown all of the varieties of Poms you have mentioned. None are Dwarf and all( if left unpruned) will grow to 10 feet+. The term Ultra Dwarf is a marketing term used by a grower in the Pacific Northwest and has nothing to do with the top height of the tree. Most all trees that are either Easy Pick or Ultra Dwarf are on typical rootstocks used by most of the better growers throughout the nation. In the case of some, pruning in the field to start the canopy lower is applied. Again this does not affect the top height. Pomegranates except for the ornamental 'nana' varieties are not dwarf at all. On a bright note they all can be pruned to any size you choose....See MoreUser
