Have you ever planted a tree ? (Fruit Trees, crape, cypress, planting)

[stephenclark]

if you have what kind of tree did you plant ???

[bugelrex]

You should clarify for what reasons. Shade, year round privacy, fruits etc

I have planted pear and apple trees, and transplanted young birch trees.

Literally hundreds. In my own yard, 2 apples, a weeping Blue Atlas Cedar, a Blue Spruce, two Quaking Aspens, over 100 bonsai (in pots). At my parents with 5 acres, probably a dozen each of Douglas firs, Western Redcedar, apples, and Shore Pines.

[turkeydance]

yes.
mimosa.

[oldgardener]

Yes, too many to count, including fruit trees and evergreen trees. When I'm in town, I like seeing the ones I planted years ago in other places I've lived, and there are many that I've planted right here on our current property.

I've planted many species of trees. Why are you asking? Do you need advice about planting certain types of trees? Your question is rather obscure with no reason given for you asking it. If you want people to take the time to tell you what kinds of trees they have experience with planting it might be a good idea for you to first of all provide an explanation for why you are asking the question.

I have planted jacaranda, crepe myrtle, and camphor trees which are currently living. I planted a lime and an orange tree which didn't survive.

With several of the trees I planted, I planted them too close to my house and fence. If distance from some other structure or tree is involved, add 2 more feet in distance to whatever position initially feels right.

In my present yard, Ive planted a cypress, a flowering cherry, a river birch, a crape Myrtle, and pawpaw.

I planted 100 Scotch Pine many years ago. I also planted many other trees. Unfortunately I have many trees now dying, from both age and invasive pest, and I have to remove them and then I will replace them again. I will probably go with fruit trees after I get everything cleared.

It is a hard decision on what trees to use as replacements. You have to choose ones that will survive; taking into account all the pest and disease in your area. Then you can still guess wrong.
