MY KINGDOM FOR A TREE
When you decide that you would like to raise some fruit trees in
your garden area, its time to find the ideal plant to start with.
The best trees are at least two years old and from 3-5 feet
tall. They will survive the disturbing transplanting process and
also bear fruit faster.
Start with a reputable garden nursery that you trust. The young
trees should have their roots wrapped in damp packing material
and plastic. This prevents the roots from drying out and causing
the tree to die.
When you get your tree home, leave it in a cool, shaded area,
with the packing material intact. On the day you intend to plant
it, remove the material and place the roots in a pail of water
to soak ideally overnight. Make a large hole, at least half the
size of the full spread of the tree
