Fruit trees
Fruit trees both potted and planted in the ground not only add color and cheer, but also provide you with fruit to use as a snack in some of your recipes this summer.
If you want to add a fruit tree, autumn is the ideal time to do it.
Plant them during the months of September through December, when they are dormant, and you will have fruit throughout the summer season.
Harvesting of cherries and plums begins approximately in mid-April, followed by peaches, loquats and apricots throughout the month of May. The rest of the fruit trees are harvested during the months of June and July.
Choose the one you prefer and make sure you use a good quality fertilizer and do not move the pots too much after planting.

But first, do a little research to find out what kind of plants can have a comfortable life and can thrive properly depending on the type of climate you live in. In addition, it won’t hurt to know what kind of maintenance they need.
