Knowing which fruit trees do well in your growing region is a great way to start growing fruit. Understanding the root stock of a grafted tree is even better. The grafting process is used to encourage better adaptability in sets of fruit trees, and gaining knowledge about the stock and your climate is paramount.  Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3TcqPCU Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3Tbur85 Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/42QZU2S EG Homesteading Book: https://growepic.co/48unKCA Learn More: 21 Fast Producing Fruit Trees, Shrubs & Vines Connect With Tom Spellman: Tom Spellman has 25+ years of experience in the nursery industry, specializing in fruit trees.
