With the upswing in gardening one does not think about this. But I know while I would like to plant a couple fruit trees, they are pricey and I am sticking with vegetables and a grape vine or two.
I have fruit trees going. You plant fruit trees for your children and for others not for yourself. I don’t have a veg garden going but can get an organic one going anytime I want.
Fruit trees take years so they must be planted now even if you cannot afford them
Plus they will make you real estate worth more
