Fruit Trees

The multi-purpose, must have for a self-reliant lifestyle.

Fruit trees offer a variety of benefits beyond just producing delicious fruits. They provide shade, enhance the landscape, and improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Additionally, fruit trees can attract beneficial wildlife, such as pollinators and birds, contributing to a healthy ecosystem. They give educational opportunities for gardening and sustainability practices, making them a valuable addition to any outdoor space.

Sustainable, Invaluable, and Delicious!

Fruit trees are a sustainable choice for both the environment and our person economy. Fruit trees don't only produce fruit. Preserving fruit saves money and you can sell the excess to neighbors and friends. These trees can provide food for years. What better way to "eat local" than to have the fruit on your own property? We chose to plant fruit trees that come ripe at different times in the growing season. This helps with reducing the amount of spoilage due to an overabundance of ripe fruit all at once.

A Good Variety

Apples

Apples a delicious fruit that can be enjoyed fresh or baked into pies and other baked goods. They also can be preserved easily to be eaten during the off season.

Peaches

Peaches can be easily preserved but on the counter they only last a few days after coming ripe.

Pears

Pears need a pollinating helper. They need another pear tree of a different variety in order to yield more fruit.

Plums

Plums are one of the few purple fruits that are easily grown. If you are trying to "eat the rainbow" plums are a great choice.

Cherries

Cherries are an early ripening fruit, often earlier than many other fruit because of their size. This means fresh fruit earlier in the season.

Apricots

Apricots have a sweet and tart flavor. They are rich in nutritional and culinary versatility. They are a good source

of vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants..
