I ordered 5 bare rooted pear trees from Bob Wells nursery. They showed up today in one big box.
I’m impressed with how large these trees are. They are larger than some of my trees I’ve had in the ground for 2 years.
I planted them in the swales before sundown. It’s forecast to be very warm this week, so I hope they get a good start.
I dug a new swale just downhill from my first swale. It is a few inches lower than the top swale, but won’t fill until the top swale is filled nearly full. I’ll add rocks in the area where they are connected to resist erosion.
I planted 9 new fruit trees on the downhill side of the new swale. Here are the types and varieties of the trees:
It’s was warm most of last week and has rained all this week. Lots of new green growth in the garden. Most of the fruit trees are flowering.
