South Forty

Yesterday we bought six bare-root fruit trees on sale. Today we planted them in two rows of three (for easier mowing), spaced about four meters apart, between Ben and the big junipers. There are two pears, two apples, two plums, working left to right as you face the bottom of the South Forty.

It was a bit hard to tell exactly where the soil line was, but we did our best.

1. Pear Williams, aka Bartlett apparently. A bit of root broke off this guy, so we hope it turns out OK.
2. Pear Conference, the regular long-necked pear.
3. Apple Reine des Reinettes.
4. Apple Belle de Boskoop. A Dutch apple, of course.
5. Plum Reine Claude d'Oullins (although the flyer says Oullens), a yellow plum.
6. Plum Quetsch, a purple plum.
