This page is devoted entirely to listing exactly what varieties of trees and plants are growing in my garden and orchard. I will update it as time goes on to include how well it grew and produced and what we thought about the taste and quality of the yields. I know I am always looking for recommendations before I purchase and plant, so hopefully this will help a person or two or twenty. 🙂 And please remember, different varieties do better in different zones and conditions, so don’t assume just because it works well for me (or doesn’t) that it will be the same for you. I am in zone 7.
