🍎 Unlocking Nature’s Bounty - Grow Perfect Fruit Trees

Episode 976

Hey fruit tree lovers, Ken Lain here! Want to harvest your own delicious apples, peaches, and pears? Then, you need the right trees for our unique mountain climate!

 

Here in the Central Highlands, we experience late frosts that can damage early bloomers. Choose varieties with a longer chilling requirement (650-700 hours) to ensure they bloom later and avoid those frosty mornings.

 

We also need to consider our alkaline soil and intense sun. Select trees adapted to these conditions and amend your soil with compost and mulch for optimal growth.

 

At Watters Garden Center, we specialize in fruit trees that thrive in our region. We offer a wide variety of apples, pears, peaches, plums, and more!

 

Remember our unique cocktail trees! These multi-grafted trees offer multiple varieties of fruit on a single tree, perfect for small spaces and those who want a diverse harvest.
