Do you grow trees?  

ya i love gardening ,althogh i live away from my home but whenever i visit my home i spend quality time gardening,i grow all types of trees fruit bearing and ornamentals ,i also participate in events like planting trees for unpolluted environment

I bought two Apple trees 2 years ago. A Harlared and a Honeycrisp. The first year I was stunned as we got a few apples on the Honeycrisp but none on the Harlared. This year theres close to 1200 Honeycrisp apples and maybe 5 or so Harlareds. I love my apple ttrees.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I've planted trees lots of times over the years. With the birth of each grandchild, I plant a tree that is 'their tree', and somehow it starts fostering their love of trees too. I also used to get balled and burlapped Christmas trees every year and plant them. Now I'm into starting shrubs and trees from transplants and multiplying techniques. Last fall I started forsythia, Ibex (holly), and catalpa tree for my daughter & her husbands new house. There's a few trees on our farm here that are huge and were my Dad's and Uncles Christmas trees from when they were young in the 1920's. I have a large woods on the farm that is what's termed 'virgin woods,' meaning that the trees there are extremely old and in their natural state. Sometimes I take seedlings from that area and move them up to the front of the property to grow so that I can enjoy seeing them every day. It's nice that you're showing children the appreciation for trees and for starting & keeping them growing. They are natural defences in the fight against pollution...plus they're just pretty!

GardenGerty, you are doing great with the posts. Glad to see you doing it sugar. I don't grow a darn thing in this desert that I live in. But, when I was in Florida, I grew fig trees, oranges and grapefruits.

I have not planted any here where i live now but hopefully in the future i will be able to move to southern Texas so that I can grow many kinds of tropical fruit trees. I understand that the tomato plants (of the indeterminate kinds) will grow year round down there and keep on producing fruit.

LOL Are you kidding?? LOL We own 28 acres of wooded area alone. We also own 8 acres of woods behind our home. We have fruit trees on one of our properties and so yes we grow lots of trees.

Out the front I have gum trees. There are two very large ones. I don't know the species. Our cats & kids love climbig these trees.
Out the back I have 7 fruit trees.. 2 apples, orange, lemon, plum , apricot & manadarin. The dogs eat the fruit off all the lower branches.

Not any more but years ago yes we had plenty of fruit trees around our homes Apple,Peach,Cherry and Pear trees The Niagara Penisula had the best fruit soil in the world Sorry should say use to be now development and buildings are on these great farm lands and why the government did not protect these tremendous soil lands I will never know Good Luck

The only tress I have in my yard are banana trees. They are very useful. We also use the leaves in many ways and they serve as shades to us. I dont have any ornamental trees around me and I envy my neighbors who have Indian Trees or Mango Trees in their yards.

I wish I can grow trees but I don't have a yard cause I live in a building.
