In this video, I share why you should be planting fruit trees in fall instead of waiting until spring! It’s a common misconception that spring is the best time to plant fruit trees. Fall planting fruit trees can actually lead to faster harvests with less maintenance. Don’t wait for spring: plant these 30 fruit trees in fall now!

I was chuckling to myself this whole video because I planted a banana in ground last night. I'm in some 6a in a triple land locked state. So yet plant fruit trees in the fall. 😅
I want a white sapote and a grumichama.
Im in Moore County NC. I would like to plant some fruit trees soon. I worry about the deer. Do you have any suggestions?

Texas has very strict import of citrus trees into the state. We haven't got any significant rain this year. I planted a Ruby Sweet plum tree and a Honeycrisp apple tree this Spring and they are doing good. They have not got a lot of growth, but I believe next year they will grow a lot faster. Zone 8a.
When dale popped in unexpectedly, he made the video. Too precious.
Dale & runny yolks?!?! So hilarious 😂 🐾❤️🤩
Here In the next couple weeks when it drops to the 80s I’ll be putting around 50 trees in the ground that I’ve had in containers all summer. Can’t wait!!!
Howdy, MG and Dale!🙂 Another great video…thanks!👍As usual, I got info I need. 👩🏾🌾
Dale was so excited for his crunchy treat made by mom! 😄❤
Hi, Anthony! I'm in South Jersey zone 7b and I just planted owari satsuma, nagami kumquat, and meyer lemon trees in the ground following your method of protecting citrus trees over the winter. Would you mind sharing some wisdom you discovered in your experience growing citrus in North Carolina?
Planting in the fall is something that I’m actually trying in Minnesota. I planted a cherry tree and an apple tree in August to test your theory. I immediately experienced transplant, shock, which led to some leaf loss. However, right now, there seems to be a little bit of rebounding right before the hard freeze arrives. Let’s see what happens next year. Thank you for your great video.
If I'm trying to dig out a cherry tree and put it in a pot .. would it be a good idea to do it now?.. I'm in socal
Keep in mind that trees such as mulberry and blackberry have massive root systems. Try to plant them away from your house.
How about fig trees in zone 9B? We get light frost never under 30 and the frost is 30-32 for a couple hrs a night only and for a few weeks. Days are always above 40s and usually above 50s in Jan.
🍃❤🍃
Good ol’ Dale. He wants a piece of the action.
STOP IT! My wallet is going to float away it’s so light after ordering all these fruit trees for fall planting. I kid I kid, but yeah time to get some new trees in the ground for my zone 9B/10A. Another great video 👍
Another nursery I'd suggest is Planting Justice Nursery (formerly Rolling River Nursery) in California. They recently added over 15 varieties of Loquat ❤️🔥 they also have over 35 fig varieties!
i have had good success planting in fall. By the end of winter the leaves are turning yellow from lack of UV but I find they recover from transplant more easily and require less shade cloth in the spring
Interesting.
Are pomegranates more like the other deciduous fruit trees you mentioned, or more like figs?
I planted 2 fig trees in, I think, last December or this January. When I bought them, they weren't fully dormant, so I kept them outside in pots until all their leaves fell off, then planted them. Luckily, they didn't wake up until after my last frost. One tree really took off and is now like 5ft tall already; the other isn't doing too well, and isn't much bigger than when I planted it; deer eat some leaves and small shoots off it from time to time (not sure why they leave the other one alone). I live in Texas, in a place that just recently became zone 9a.
Another good informative video Anthony. Thanks…. time to get planting those trees!
FYI, McKenzie's is on Etsy now so you don't necessarily have to call him (unless you're after something he doesn't have listed there)
Thank you for this, perfect timing!
I'm a big fan of One Green World
Oh my goodness! Dale is just ADORABLE 😍 I loved the video with all the awesome info but Dale popping in, really made it thoroughly enjoyable and made my morning 😊. Huge hugs to that gorgeous boy
this video is great and very informative, but Dale made it even better!
I live in Rocky Point what is my zone 8 ??
Dale is too funny 😂
Dale has you well trained. He doesn't have to comply until after 7 commands🐾…🐾…🐾
I just planted my meader persimmon last week. Fenced it off and just applied straw to protect it for the winter.
15k views in 20hrs lets grow!!! 💪🏾🌲
Thank you for sharing ❤.
Do you have a source for us on those big black warming barrels ?
I have just planted my first persimmon tree ever(Jiro)🧡
Seasonal affective disorder is something I struggle with badly.
Thanks Anthony. I was going to order some trees last year and lost the name of the places you recommended to purchase from. Oh, and you forgot elderberries. The bare root goes in now as well!
Thank you
