How Do You Care For Fruit & Nut Trees?
Growing fruit and nut trees in your landscaping not only supplies you with tasty treats at harvest time; these trees often supply beautiful scented flowers in an array of colors along with striking leaves as well.

Keep in mind the full-grown size of the tree (both height and width) and space accordingly. Grow your trees in sites that offer well-drained soil and at least six hours of sunshine.
