SUMMARY:What You Need To Know Before You Buy a Fruit Tree
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 3rd\, at 6 pm AZ/Pacific\nClick Here to Register for this online webinar\n\n \nMy favorite thing to grow is a fruit tree – you plant it once and reap a bounty for decades. But did you know that you can go into every big box store and most nurseries and they will sell you a fruit tree that will never make fruit? And that made me mad so I started teaching people about how to avoid the pitfalls.  \nThe selection of fruit trees that you can grow is vast – peaches\, apples\, apricots\, plums\, pears\, citrus and more – but not all fruit trees are alike and discovering which ones work in the desert and how to pick a perfect fruit tree for your yard can be challenging. Join us as we help you navigate the key information you need to make the best decision for you and your space.   \nWhat To Know BEFORE You Buy!\nOur primary class on how to choose the best fruit trees for your space and the low desert climate!\nHere’s what to expect in this class:   \n\n\n\nLEARN the three pitfalls to avoid when purchasing fruit trees for the low desert.\nDISCOVER Urban Orcharding and why it is important for your trees.\nUNDERSTAND which trees work and which ones don’t\, and what a fair price is for your fruit trees.\n\n\n\nThe first topic in our 2025 Fruit Tree Education series.\nClick Here to Register for the ‘Before’ class \nVisit our Fruit Tree Program Page for more details and to download a copy of our current catalog. \n\n
