Every summer the nursery near me has a big tree sale in July. It's the hardest time to plant a tree, but it is the time to find out how the fruit is. The peaches are out now, so there is no waiting until July. I'm hoping to find a peach and a pear tree this year. Peaches need more soil preparation and care in this county, but there are some pears that grow great guns. Two of my favorite fruits, and two fruits that retain the pesticides when you get them commercially, so if I can bring them into my organic program, I'll be happy.
BTW--these will go in the back yard, because if you put them in front people WILL enter your yard and trample things and break branches to steal your fruit.
