In this video I show you the fruit trees I have growing in my small urban backyard. I have many dwarf fruit trees that were planted only 2 years ago and they are already producing fruits. Some of them include: celeste fig, Chicago hardy, fuyu persimmon, dwarf white frost peach, gala apple, hosui Pear, rainier cherry, bing cherry, mulberry, salavatski pomegranate, crimson sky pomegranate, concord grapes, hardy kiwi anna, meadar hardy kiwi.
I'm hoping my backyard turns into a small food forest in the next few years. Join me on my journey as I turn my yard into a food forest

What type of trees do you have in your yard?

Gala and pawpaw need a pollinator. Mulberry gonna be large. Transplant away from green house and plant where its size and shadow won’t interfere with your efforts. Good luck from Shenandoah Valley, Va.

Hello, I’ve heard that pawpaw trees release a chemical from their root system that will poison other plants and trees close to them, I think I heard an arborist on social media mention this but it may be an old wives tale!! Also, I’m in 7A myself.

Hi. I'm not an expert so I don't know- in the wild they grow in big colonies because they send out suckers. I'm assuming if you let them grow wild they might interfere with other trees. So far mine are growing great next to all of my other bushes.

Try( Bob Wells nursery) in Texas. I have 4 as of now. All doing great I wanted fresh eating variety so honeyjar and ga 866 are the best cultivars for this. Price is good and size is good happy planting dude@@GardenForaged

7a here but in middle Tennessee. We lost all of our figs - even Chicago Hardy - during the flash freeze of December '22. What we have left are our lemons and limes that require us to haul it in during the winter.

Sorry you lost yours. I'm 7a, as well. I've had my Chicago hardy for years and it never produced anything. It always died back to the ground every year. This past year, I wrapped them from a tutorial on KZfaq, and I finally have fruit. So maybe wrapping yours for the winter would help you, too.

@@kristenm7380 We actually do cut ours back in the fall, but the flash freeze simply wiped out half of everything that had survived previous cold spells, but not where the temp dropped 50 degrees in one day. BUT - in good news - the trees came back this year. No fruit, but fingers crossed for next year!!

To produce fruit, a pawpaw tree must receive pollen from flowers on another tree. They are self-incompatible.

That is so cool you're getting flowers on your trees! Thanks for sharing, it gives me hope to see them flowering in zone 7a. I've been wanting to get the Celeste fig and a couple PawPaws. How demanding have the Kiwis been? I'm tempted to order a few. Is your soil acidic or basic, I heard they want low pH like blueberries and my pH is too high for those. I just have a plum for now, not sure what variety and it's lost most of its flowers due to a late freeze this year but I should get a couple. I'm hoping for more and planted a bunch of bare root plants last month. I put in: Bing and Ranier cherries, a Montmorency cherry, a 20th century Asian Pear, a Warren Pear, a maypop vine, the Brown Turkey fig, a Little Ruby Fig, two chestnut trees, two grape Vines, a couple of Jujubes, a mulberry, a Meader Persimmon, some raspberry and blackberry brambles, a bunch of strawberries, some honey berries, a gooseberry, some elderberries and currants. It'll be so hard to wait.

You have an amazing selection of fruit trees. The kiwis are not very demanding. They just produce on their own. They do need a very sunny location. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will get some fruits this year 😁

Grafted trees produce fruit in two to three years, while seedling trees may take up to 10 years. to bear fruit.

My fuyu persimmon died when it got to 7 degrees. I replaced them with a couple others, but then I realized the ones I bought were made for zone 8 :( The local nurseries here don’t sell cold hardy trees often. Many of the trees they sell here only need 300 chill hours and we get 1200. They also sell too many zone 8 plants when we are zone 7 I hope you get some apples. This will be the first year I get apples I hope

I'm sorry to hear about your fuyu. Yea- you have to be careful buying trees from local nurseries. I buy most of my trees online. I buy in winter so they ship barefoot in early spring.

Looks glorious! Thanks for all the varietal suggestions. Don't you need two pawpaws in order to get fruit? We just planted two here in zone 7b (put in native persimmons, elderberries, and a Celeste fig last fall!).
