New Fruit Trees

We bought our 1st set of trees on clearance from Lowes for $5 each. Hopefully they'll all turn out OK. They're all pretty large (6-8 ft tall), semi-dwarf, showing a little bit of leaf drop, are in 3.5 gallon jugs, and all on clearance, presumably b/c they've been sitting over there all summer waiting to be purchased. A few of the blueberries and pears we also picked up at *Petals from the Past in Jemison (full price), #Green Thumb in Decatur (half price) and peaches for free from a friend.

*1 Amling - $30

Peaches

Actual Value = Hopefully something. They're looking pretty sad right now, 1 week after purchase. The plan is to wait till fall to plant, once they go dormant, if they survive that long :(
