Hi all! This Spring I plan to plant fruit trees in my best spot and I'd like your help narrowing down my choices. I have planted apple and pear trees for the past 3 years, but I deliberately left this spot alone until I learned with practical experience. Now that I'm fairly confident I can get trees to grow, I'm ready to tackle the honey hole. But I still haven't nailed down the specific trees I want to include.
Here's what I want:
disease resistant
low maintenance
precocious growers
reliable producers
and most importantly, drops fruit from late Oct through mid December.
So yeah, I just want the perfect tree. Haha! I have compiled a short list of candidates, but I'm certainly open to other suggestions.
Arkansas Black
Yates
Becton Pear
Ms. Laneene Pear
Gate Pear
Enterprise
The planting will be 6-10 trees. Please let me know your favorite variety! I'm in far Southern IL, climate about the same as Native Hunter I think.
