Do you grow trees?

ya i love gardening ,althogh i live away from my home but whenever i visit my home i spend quality time gardening,i grow all types of trees fruit bearing and ornamentals ,i also participate in events like planting trees for unpolluted environment

I bought two Apple trees 2 years ago. A Harlared and a Honeycrisp. The first year I was stunned as we got a few apples on the Honeycrisp but none on the Harlared. This year theres close to 1200 Honeycrisp apples and maybe 5 or so Harlareds. I love my apple ttrees. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Out the front I have gum trees. There are two very large ones. I don't know the species. Our cats & kids love climbig these trees. Out the back I have 7 fruit trees.. 2 apples, orange, lemon, plum , apricot & manadarin. The dogs eat the fruit off all the lower branches.

LOL Are you kidding?? LOL We own 28 acres of wooded area alone. We also own 8 acres of woods behind our home. We have fruit trees on one of our properties and so yes we grow lots of trees.

I have not planted any here where i live now but hopefully in the future i will be able to move to southern Texas so that I can grow many kinds of tropical fruit trees. I understand that the tomato plants (of the indeterminate kinds) will grow year round down there and keep on producing fruit.

When I get to Texas I hope that I can get a house with plenty of land so that I can plant plenty of fruit trees of different kinds. That along with having tropical fishes year round out doors is a big part of my dreams.

I've planted trees lots of times over the years. With the birth of each grandchild, I plant a tree that is 'their tree', and somehow it starts fostering their love of trees too. I also used to get balled and burlapped Christmas trees every year and plant them. Now I'm into starting shrubs and trees from transplants and multiplying techniques. Last fall I started forsythia, Ibex (holly), and catalpa tree for my daughter & her husbands new house. There's a few trees on our farm here that are huge and were my Dad's and Uncles Christmas trees from when they were young in the 1920's. I have a large woods on the farm that is what's termed 'virgin woods,' meaning that the trees there are extremely old and in their natural state. Sometimes I take seedlings from that area and move them up to the front of the property to grow so that I can enjoy seeing them every day. It's nice that you're showing children the appreciation for trees and for starting & keeping them growing. They are natural defences in the fight against pollution...plus they're just pretty!

GardenGerty, you are doing great with the posts. Glad to see you doing it sugar. I don't grow a darn thing in this desert that I live in. But, when I was in Florida, I grew fig trees, oranges and grapefruits.

I've always enjoyed planting things, including trees! When we first moved to our current home I planted a live oak seedling that was just a few inches tall. Now it is a tree and gives shade to our yard. I have since planted a couple of fruit trees, one satsuma tree and one tangerine tree. They were both about two feet tall when planted and now stand about 5 to 6 feet tall. Both are bearing fruit now and have more than paid for themselves. My other prize plant is a camilia tree. It was another small plant when purchased and less than one foot tall. It is now huge, 5 feet and bears the prettiest red flowers each year. This one is special to me because my grandfather used to raise camilias and had them in all colors and varieties.

I love trees but mostly fruit baring trees, I now have orange, lemon, grapefruit, olive, They are great for us and the birds they attract. I try every year to plant another tree for the enviroment. My favourite is my olive tree and it hasnt even fruited yet but Ive wanted one since we first got into our house and just last week got one. hoooray.

hai friend, my favorite is ornamentals ,i do not have sufficent place in my house but my occupation is gardening and i love my job thanks www.riaz.co.nr

When I moved to this house, it turned out the previous owners had planted a lot of fruittrees and bushes. I got pears, apples, grapes, berry's etc. The apple one isn't doing to well, but I always get lots of fruits from the others.

hi there GardenGerty there is one fruit tree i like is my plum tree it used to be dark purple and it was so yummy but know it is sour it is nearly summer here in Australia it has come early cause it is hot already we have an apple tree too we did have a lemon tree and it got cut down that was a good lemon tree thanks for this discussion

Yeah, in our backyard i planted fruit tress in front and inside the house i have ornamental plants. All these contribute to the environmental awareness. I hope i am doing my share. Thanks

Back when I was growing up we Grew our Own Fruit trees, and it was always Fun to watch them get bigger yr. after yr. And then when you finally got to eat the Fruit from them that they produced, that was the Best part. It is interesting to watch a Tree grow from a little think to where it gets quite tall. Makes me even today be amazed at it all.
