The property came with a dozen or so enormous (>6m / 20ft) apple and cherry trees planted about a century ago and all but 3 of them are barely alive, so this spring I’ve cleared some space and added:
4 peach trees, 2 varietals
4 apricot trees, 2 varietals
2 Japanese plum trees (technically not a plum)
8 cherry trees, 4 varietals
3 plum trees, 2 varietals
10 apple trees, 5 varietals
4 pear trees, 4 varietals
2 pear-shaped quince trees
2 Japanese quince bushes
6 currant bushes, 2 varietals
Assuming most of them survive I’ll be set as far as fruit I can grow in my zone are concerned. Well, I could use 2-3 asian/american hybrid persimmons to have a full set, but they are very hard to find and expensive - I’d have to pay more for 2 than I’ve paid for the 40+ listed above…
We’ll need another post to know more about those fruit trees as well
