Phase one of our orchard! We have been talking about planting fruit trees since we moved to Montrose. Well, today we started the orchard with two apple trees, a Macintosh and Honey Crisp. In theory these two trees will provide the necessary pollen at the right time for each other.
Digging the holes. The Mancos shale insures a nice clay soil no matter where you dig. At least it is not all rock like it was in Ouray.
Rest time yet? Just thinking ahead to apples next year.
Trees are in the ground and now need some TLC to get them through transplant shock.
The happy gardener expanding her expertise into fruit trees. Cherry will be next.
