In this video, I share 17 fantastic new fruit trees to plant in winter 2023 as soon as the ground thaws! Did you know you can plant fruit trees in winter while it still freezes and frosts overnight? It’s true! Some fruit trees can be planted as soon as the soil is workable, allowing you to start gardening early and shake off those winter blues!
Deciduous fruit trees can be planted as soon as the ground is workable as long as the fruit trees are in full dormancy. As long as the fruit trees are dormant, they will be immune to most of the effects of cold in late winter and early spring. Planting dormant fruit trees gives us a huge jump start on the growing season and improves our mental health during the long winter.

I'm adding some of these to my garden calendar. They won't necessarily happen this year but they will be in the queue for the appropriate months.
I have 2 Paw Paws. I love the foliage but I’m concerned about the atypical Parkinson’s connections so I no longer eat the fruit. What is your opinion on this?
I haven't ever had several of those varieties. 😎🏜️
Thank you for listing in your description. That helps so much ❤
Dale is handsome and tough in any outfit. 😃🐕 He's totally cute!
Good info! Thanks!👍💕
I’m not sure if you’d made a video on this so if you could, could you recommend trees like this other than figs that would be good for temporary or long term large pot growing? I already have figs and I have about 1-2 years of rental property living before I should be buying a house. I have a variety of berry bushes (blue, black, goose, etc) and figs in pots but would like maybe apples peaches or plums if viable in pots like figs
Our temps in Cheyenne Wyoming don't stay consistently above 20° until mid April, but then we have had unexpected temperature drops. So nothing is usually put in the ground until May, without risk.
Hi, I have a pomegranate tree/bush, don't remember variety, think it's dwarf and cold hardy. Thinking of planting it permanently in yard, any thoughts?
Also Thinking of kumquat and nectarines PNW zone 8b.
Thank you for your great video and knowledge
💜
Great informative video. Dale looks so 😍. However, duckies? Poor boy
Living in Central Texas – we tend to plant strawberries in the fall. It is difficult to find a source that delivers the varieties you'd like at that time. I'll be checking out your link. Thanks and love your videos!
When would you suggest planting fig trees?
Er. The ground doesn't thaw in winter, it thaws in spring. A lot depends on where you are.
I'm in zone-6 and so far the ground hasn't froze this year. I've been planting and transplanting stuff all winter.
Loved the star feature of dale xD
Thank you for sharing your video, I started planting loquats and peach trees , next will be grapes and apples 🍎 😊 your dog is so cool 😅
Any fruit trees that can stand shallow flooding for a week or two in a year? Live on a lake and have a good place to plant. But it’s in the easement.
What have you done with your fig pots? Did you put them in storage? I bought my first fig tree last summer and it’s growing slowly but nicely! I put it in dark storage in the garage over winter as it gets rather cold here in Finland. I live in south west Finland just by the coast of the Baltic Sea, which is actually one of the more ”milder” places in winter. Do you maybe have a video of how to store fruit trees properly over winter? Thank you so much for your videos, i have been enjoying them a lot for almost a year! Best wishes from Finland 🇫🇮
This is great! I've got a couple of peaches and blackberries I've been putting off planting, but I will go ahead and do it. Thanks for the links for bareroot plants too. I didn't know you could buy asparagus that way.
Always gotta stick around for adventures with Dale
What is your zone .. I can spread some cool crop seeds like lettuce, spinach cilantro.. I'm some 4 plains of Colorado
Dale I love your pajamas sweet boy , they keep you warm at night !
just planted some bare root stuff this week; fig, pomegranate, kiwi, strawberries.
What type of weed barrier you have?
Anyone know what Blueberries do well in 6A ?
I’m concerned with the weather Manipulation we are going to have this April threw June. I believe they will whip a a serious freeze
I ❤Dale! He is precious!
Dis guy wit da big nose is rich and selling t shirts and getting more money from scumtube while many people are barely making it. Selfish.
I have 3 goumi, loquat, apple, cherry, fig, persimmon, salal, huckleberry, thimble berry, Oregon grape and pineapple guava and blueberry. I look forward to fruit
Can you do some pruning videos? Blueberries, grapes etc.
Beautiful video and very good channel your posting the exact videos i like I'm a new subs .thankyou.i wish to see many more fruit trees ideas . 💖
Thank you so much for these videos❗️👍❤️
Is Southwest AZ zone 8? What zone is AZ?
Could you please do a video like this one but with fruit trees that are both cold hardy and “hell” hardy? I’m in zone 8a (west Texas) and we get 90 as regular temperatures and we can go up to 105😅 and idk if that’s the reason but my fruit production suck lol 😂🤣🤣🤣
Do you get plum curculio or no?
When thinking of fruit trees you are planting now, do you have any recommendations around grafting? We have a huge fig tree that I planted >10 years ago. I’m thinking of doing a deep pruning and, maybe, trying to graft some different varieties to it. I’ve never tried grafting before so it will be an adventure. We’re in Chapel Hill, NC, zone 7B. Would you take that pruning/grafting project on now, in addition to planting? Or is there a better/safer time of year?
I choose Number 17, that what i try to growing now..
Nice man 👍🏿
Hello from Indonesia 🙏
Nice, from Indonesia,bali
Awesome information as always Friend 👍 Growing season is around the corner!!!
Also where did you get your Paw Paws? Any recommended sources?
I have young pawpaws growing on the balcony of my 3rd floor apartment. The squirrels climb all the way up there just to munch on the leaves. 🥲
where do you buy your trees and bushes from? I am about 2 hours west of you, would love a solid recommendation
Hi I am in Kenya E.Africa and have always had a dream of having a multi-fruit orchard for years, however we always have challenge with right info on what will or not work in the the tropics, so far I have tried tree Tomato, results are not bad, raspberry is coming well , mulberry, apples and pears are in the testing face, I wish I would someday some of the varieties you do there, nevertheless your content is impactful over the great seas, now that I have started my small channel showing our way of gardening, am sure my orchard will come to life as I learn from you.
Much love💕 from Kenya 🇰🇪
wish i had a dollar everytime he said fully workable
Knocking it out of the park with these videos.
I'm going to plant my blackberries sooner than I was planning now, thanks! I'm NC too
Wonderful video as usual. I am very interested in where you got your grafted Asian pear tree.
I’m so discouraged I planted 6 citrus trees and bought a greenhouse to put some other fruit trees that are supposed to be ok here in zone 8b they seem all dead with the low Temperatures we had 😞
