Apple Tree

In an effort to save money, I have decided to try to plant fruit trees in my front yard. We don't have a whole lot of space, so I wanted to be smart about the fruit trees that I pick. My first attempt has been with the purchase of a Honeycrisp Apple tree. These are absolutely delicious....and about $5/pound in the grocery store. There is no way that I can afford to purchase those whenever I have the craving. So for a $50 investment I purchased and planted a tree. I figure I only have to grow and pick 10 pounds of apples before I'm even. The down side of having fruit trees is that you have to wait a few years for the tree to develop and produce excellent apples. To me- it's worth it to have years of fresh Honeycrisp Apples right in my front yard.
