The soil in my yard is terrible once you go down 3". Surprisingly it was a productive peach and apple orchard before the homes were built.

Same thing in our neighborhood. It was an apple orchard.

Not sure about zone 3, but TP's one of the better growing varieties I have, along with Yates. No apples yet. Pretty sure Im going into year 4 for my first BH trees.
October Crab and Goldrush produced last year.

My 3 and 4 year old TP's have blossoms this year, along with October Crab and Goldrush. Nothing on the same aged: Kerr, buckman, Arkansas Black, chestnut, candy Crab, Yates, for reference.

Thanks for the yard compliment. I'm the only DIY guy in my neighborhood. I'll usually fertilize it once in the spring and spray it once, when the nutsedge pops. I actually have more dandelions than I've had in a while, but only in once section of the back yard. I'll probably spray it this weekend. I think the lawn looks as good as the neighbors who spend thousands on multiple fertilizer and herbicide treatments.

I'll prune the lower stuff shortly. I wanted to make sure everything leafed out and survived year 1. The soil in my yard is terrible once you go down 3". Surprisingly it was a productive peach and apple orchard before the homes were built. You can see my peach trees behind the apple. You'll notice the pink blossoms.

Planning on making front yard nice like that in a few years when we're getting ready to sell.

Backyard i love my weeds. I spray clethodim to get more weeds. Could do without creeping Charley though.

Only takes a spraying or two a year for a year or two to turn it in into all grass.
