Cheap Trees
I posted about this on the MM board too, but I'm so excited that I have to share with everyone here, too. I bought four trees from Home Depot last weekend for $9.98 each! Two dwarf peach, an apple, and a flowering cherry. After much digging, I now have a mini-orchard:) I know HD doesn't have the best quality, but for the price I'll be thrilled if 2 survive.
Re: Cheap Trees
Congratulations on getting such a good price.
What type of apple tree did you buy? You should check out the pp regarding apple trees because many need a second tree to pollinate. Golden delicious is a good pollinator of other trees.
I'm not sure if cherry trees need a second tree to pollinate.
We got a red delicious apple tree. I saw the post about cross-polinators and will try to head to home depot this weekend to pick up another apple tree.
The cherry tree is listed as "flowering"- that makes me think that it won't produce fruit? Would I still need another for it to flower?
Congrats on getting a good price, but I'm very concerned with species diversity. There are so many of those trees around my city already, and big box stores help produce a population bottleneck by offering the same tiny handful of species, at extremely low prices, all over the country. Planting less common trees is a primary objective for me.
Flowering Cherries are grown for ornamental value- they are not the same as the ones grown for fruit; and you don't need to buy them in pairs to get the flowers.
