We are excited to announce the arrival and planting of 9 new fruit trees. 3 Cherry (Bing , Rainer and another) 3 pear (Comice, Bosc, Asian) 2 Plums (Italian and Satsuma), and a Golden Crisp apple. The apple is planted next to our neighbors apples so it has trees to cross-pollinate with. We bought them bare root from a small nursery outside of Tumwater, WA. As soon as we got the trees home we buried the roots in our compost pile to keep them moist until we planted them the next day. We are thankful that our neighbors let us barrow their gas powered auger to help dig the holes, as some of them had large root structures. We also mixed in horse manure compost in the planting holes. As you can see most of the trees are at least 5-6 feet tall.
