The fir trees seem to prefer the granite rocky areas and grow in these rock formations including right into bedrock. Actually not only breaking the rock up, but twisting and spiraling it around as they grow their roots into it. I will try to get some good pics of it in a few different spots if people are interested. Some of the biggest healthiest trees on my propert and the mountain are growing into the granite bedrock.

With fruit trees the biggest issue is with watering. It takes a lot of water the first year to get them established, but after that they are pretty hardy..

I would plant any trees I'd already bought and hope for the best with them, but undisturbed tap roots might be better at finding little crevices and anchoring themselves well. I believe Sepp Holzer does this and then grafts seedling fruit trees with desired cultivars.
