Q&A – What is the best place to buy a fruit tree?
Question:
What is the best place to buy a fruit tree?
Answer:
You can Google fruit tree sources in your area and get some options. Many lawn and garden centers carry fruit trees. They are often tall but Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says the one-year old small seedling is the best option. It will grow faster than the larger trees and allows you to prune it correctly for fruit production. Make sure you select a variety that is appropriate for your area and that you plant it at the right time.
