One downside to buying a new house is the lack of trees. When we bought our house a year ago, we got 2 trees. Several weeks ago we planted 4 more trees. We had wanted to plant trees last Fall but could not decide what kind of trees to buy and where to plant them. We have decided what we wanted and bought three shade trees and one fruit tree. The shade trees are all drought tolerant once established. The Chinese Pistache and Shumardi Red Oak are fast growing trees. The Chinquapin Oak is a slow growing tree. I have always wanted a peach tree so we bought a White Princess Peach tree which is supposed to have super sweet peaches. The White Princess Peach tree is self pollinating. However, we may purchase another peach tree in the future because most fruit trees do better with a partner. Our peach tree already has some fruit on it. I hope it produces lots of delicious fruit in the future. I'm also looking forward to our shade trees providing nice shade in the future.
