Today we planted two Northern Spy, two honey Crisp and a Reliance peach and 35 more blueberry plants. I guess we have 6 peach trees altogether, the trees do not get very big the rabbits do not prefer their bark,they are relatively pest free and I don't think they are too choosy about the soil. Pears are even easier to grow and very long lived, apples seem to be the hardest to grow and cherries and plums too, the sour cherries are not fussy but the sweet cherries if not hit by late frosts or devoured by robins are susceptible to brown rot. There are still more berries to plant, but we have most of it done, even though it certainly was cold enough to snow.
