Fruit Cocktail Tree

Tree arrived well packaged and healthy. Spent the day planting my fruit cocktail tree—one tree grafted with two varieties of peaches, a nectarine, and a plum! The hole was four feet wide and two feet deep. I filled the bottom foot with peat moss, sand, biochar, mulch, and manure—basically a buffet for worms and beneficial bacteria. As those materials break down, they’ll help support the tree as its roots grow deeper. For the top foot, I used two soil mixtures with potting soil, sand, vermiculite, and perlite. Around the root ball, I added faster-release fertilizer and rooting compounds to help it get established before winter. The surrounding mixture includes slower-release fertilizer to support growth through its first year. I'm planning on buying some other grafted fruit trees in the Sping!

Tree arrived in excellent shape, leaves green and vibrant. It was well packaged and cared for. We are excited to see it begin to bear fruit in the coming year. Trees. com took great care of us, sending a replacement when FedEx lost our order en route for almost 2 weeks. Thank you!

it's only been a week but they seem to be doing well we'll keep our fingers crossed that doesn't change
