    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    I dunno--I think only citrus trees are sensitive to the cold. Most others thrive in climates with a winter, just not MY winter. Also, have you priced fruit trees online?!?!? $15/sapling is a steal. That is Box store clearance price. I bought my Magnolia Jane, now 14 ft tall and 16 in wide at...

    @akroberts aren't you like zone 7? I ask bc a local expert said that our area, 5b/6a is too cold to keep most fruit trees going, but I think you could do it. If you want to be sure to get good fruiting trees, I suggest buying from Stark Bros, bareroot. Yeah, it's good to buy local, but the...
