Opinions please from all you experts with far more experience in growing
fruit than I.
Is it better to plant fruit trees in late summer or early fall than in
spring? If so, why? There are plenty of bargains available in late summer,
from catalogs and at garden centers. I'm tempted to take advantage of the
cheaper prices, especially if there are advantages. With ornamental trees
and shrubs, you gain a season's growth with fall planting, or so says the
conventional wisdom.
