Hey all! I’m hoping to plant 2-3 dwarf fruit trees this year, but I am feeling super intimated about deciding where. Would love any suggestions or insights!
The landscaping that the house came with is ornamental and basically set up in a ring around the property.
Hey Louise.
I’d likely plant dwarf fruit trees in these locations, in this order/priority, (1,2,3 in the picture I hope to have attached properly.) This is the general idea, but I would then go stand in these spots and place a stake/stone where I can stand facing south and see the most unobstructed view of where the sun travels throughout the growing season, within those locations. Maybe then I would find a better spot.. but this is probably where I would start. I would also try to avoid blocking the other plants if possible, (or move them if it's worth it,) although the arborvitae and maples would likely be fine either way. To find the sun angles you can check sites like suncalc.net and there are similar apps as well.
