A decade from now you'll enjoy this purchase. My siblings and I planted pinecones in our garden one year, now dozens of 100ft trees line the perimeter of the estate I was raised on. All good things take time.

>>8905496

Did you imagine they were going to ship you a 10' tall tree?

>>8905600
Well the online shop said these particular plants were ~9ft tall. Maybe I'd young one, maybe something with budding fruits in a pot... What I did not expect was a stick.

>>8905582

You'd have to go to a nursery to get larger trees. Ordering trees on the internet you always just get 2 foot tall sticks. They grow fast though.

Well, this thread went places.

>>8905496
I've bought several trees from online nurseries, they all come like this. They trim the foliage and make the tree think it's time to go dormant for the winter. It holds up to shipping better this way.

Give it a week or two and it will come to life. It will actually grow pretty quickly, most fruit trees take really well to transplanting. Expect it to grow two large branching trunks where it was cut on top.

It'll ship as a bare ass stick like OP's pic shows.

>>8906812
Best time for planting trees is fall, but early spring is ok too. As far as what kind if you want japanese cherry blossoms, idk, maybe japanese cherry trees? Any of the major sites with decent reviews will work. Just search for "japanese cherry trees for sale."

>>8906901
>>8906868
Thanks a lot guys!

>>8906773
You think they would do well in pots too? Thinking of getting some other fruit tree and keeping it mobile.

>>8907149
Certain dwarf fruit trees do well in containers. Meyer lemons and other smaller citrus come to mind. Most edible fruit trees have too expansive of a root system, they'll get rootlocked in their container and get deprived of nutrients. Plus you'd be watering it like crazy.

You'll find a good number of ornamental fruit trees for container growing, but the fruit is garbage. Meyer lemons are the only one I have any experience with, and they're god-tier.

well at least it looks like it was created by grafting and not grown from seed.

fruits trees from seeds usually don't produce edible fruits, and they take years/decade longer to start making inedible fruits.

>>8905507
should have planted plums

it'll grow

my dad bought a peach tree sapling and i was such a pessimist, i told him he straight up wasted his money, that he planted it in the wrong place, that it wasn't watered enough, etc.

he has peaches now

Nothing wrong with that at all. We bought several green tea bushes (camellia sinensis) online and they are doing quite well. We also bought a couple pear trees that are producing nicely. But you have to expect them to be 1 or 2 feet tall, like OP's. If you want a 10' tall tree, you have to go to a brick and mortar nursery and pay a buttload of cash.

Terraced beds will work, but to your point, probably cost prohibitive. Maybe approach it scientifically: till up several small plots with soil/manure and the native soil and try different mixes with the same plants and see what takes?

Awwww this is very cute! I had a lilac bush outside my grandmother's room where we lived. It was killed and moved because it was in the way, but my nine year old self learned about plants in school so I planted a tiny single rooted stem behind our house and its grown into a full blown tree. Shes dead now so its a good reminder of her. I got a picture since it was flowering! All from a tiny stem! If anyone knows how I should trim it let me know, it had a mold infection last year and those pats died.

>>8909434
I worked at a greenhouse and they usually dont sell the small ones. They sell decent sized trees in large pots so they cost over 100. Plus thats heavy and hard to move. This seems much smarter honestly.

>>8910664
Nice bush but that fungus did a number on it. It should be a lot fuller. As far as trimming, cut out the dead branches that were killed by the fungus. It looks like you have vinyl siding, but I can see where it has scraped paint off your window frame. Trim it back so it isn't scraping the house. Also, you may want to talk to a nursery about getting a fungicide for it. That fungus is still there even if currently dormant.

>>8909229

You should have gone to fastgrowingtrees.com and gotten a couple of specimens of the Santa Rosa variety. Earlier in the year they were shipping at 6-7 feet tall.

Okay

When I grew up, our neighbor had a plum and an apple tree growing right next to his fence and the branches hung over into our yard. My father built a fake wooden pirate ship play place with a crows nest that was in the trees branches. My neighbor really didn't mind that he had two boys crawling all over his trees and that was how we got all our accidentally thrown to far toys from his yard. Every year we had plums, apples, and blackberries in our crappy suburban yard. When he died and his douchebag family members moved in and cut down the two trees so they could make space for their RV. Those people should be shot. An adult fruit bearing tree in a suburban backyard is like a fucking unicorn around here. At least by brother has an avocado tree in his apartment complex no one has apparently noticed is an avocado tree and reaps the benefits. Although competition with raccoons is fierce.

>>8913486
Then again avocado trees are incredibly fecund. You can only make so much guacamole. When I am a homeowner I am planting as many fruit trees on my property as space allows, leaving only room for an herb and vegetable garden. Lawns are for fags. I'd rather see my potential future children climbing and dodging around trees than scampering around a lawn. Also recently a mexican family moved into next to my childhood home and started growing a shitload of straight up corn in their front lawn. It's actually successful. Looks weird compared to the rest of the block but hey, tamales. No explanation required. Also I'm pretty sure they keep the crows away by giving their kids air rifles. I fully support this decision. That reminds me of another house on the block owned by a older turkish gentleman, he used his front lawn as a garden for mostly leafy greens. Cabbage, kale, chard, lettuce. He would always gift veggies to surrounding properties. Same story as the original one. He died, shitty family moved in and had the garden paved over.

This is normal. As to keep shipping costs down. In reality you will probably want to prune the tree even lower because the roots might have been pruned to make them fir the box.

What kind variety of plum is it? It looks like a davewilson tree.

What rootstock is it.

In 3 years you should have fruit if you give it proper care and have adequate pollination.

Bravo! There are enormous amounts of land in any suburban neighborhood that could produce most of the vegetable needs for a small family. But what's done with it? Plant a worthless grass that needs buttloads of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides to meet the 1950's definition of beauty Big Chemical brainwashed us into believing. Fucking pathetic.

>>8913865
Another route would be to organize enough of the neighbors into rescinding that kind of godawful rule. Given it's america suburbia I'm not very optimistic, however. Most of those troglodytes think they're living in a "Leave it to Beaver" episode.

>>8905582

Legally, the state cannot force you to trim their trees, they would have to do it, only the ones on their side, and if they do enough damage can end up paying the owner treble value of the fully grown trees if you're in Massachusetts. Trees are serious business.

t. Lawyer.

>>8913865
Why not plant something that's green all year round like thyme or rosemary? You could also get a strawberry plant. Those things just continually shit out berries all summer then go dormant for the winters. They come right back on their own the following spring.

Hey its
>>8910664
And I was wondering about a few things! I went to a nursery today and a kind lady who has lilacs got me some organic compound blah blah. She said she uses it and to wait until the flowers die, as its a leaf and stem problem. I trimmed all the dead and mostly dead bits, but how extreme do I have to be? She also said that this mildew doesnt ever go away its permanent but can be controlled to not matter.

Posting the buds from last year, as the mildew hit in April last year and thats when half the bush got wiped out. This year I have yet to see any mildew though, I have found a few of the dead bits that look like this. I hope they are from last year, and am unsure of what to do if they are not.

And also I do participate in traditional cooking threads, I have plots for herbs and things too but Ive never had problems with those like this bush. Any more insight would be appreciated.

>>8914531
>>8913865

I did rosemary and it attracted tons of bees to my lawn and it also frankly has not been fun to cook with at all. I have about a five by five foot square of oregano that I take down and dry for all winter long each year. And of course the green onions were up a month ago by now. You can do lots of herbs easily, oregano is basically a weed and so are onions in a lot of places.
