Ive discovered this site Garden Bargains.com and have ordered 30 fruit trees. The three orange pipins that were pot grown are now in the ground and the bare rooted ones will arrive later in the season.


My orchard is just starting  :excited:

Our local Wilkinsons had some really good trees in last year. I wouldn't buy lots off them, but they'd ideal for filling a space in you're orchard, if you've had the misfortune to have lost a tree.
 
I was very tempted to buy a cherry tree from there but then realized just how many wild birds we have here and changed my mind. I like cherries but so do the birds. :innocent:
