You make look so easy, nice job. Can I grow olive trees in western New York? Springville NY, 22 miles south of Buffalo? Do you sell the bare root stock and when is the best time to buy and plant fruit trees here? Thank you, awesome web site

Mike, Sorry about the olives, but you are in USDA zone 5a and that’s just too cold for them. Lots of bare root fruit trees would do fine with you though! Buy bare root fruit trees now and “heel them in” until the ground is no longer frozen. Check the side bar in Fruit Trees to sort for trees that thrive in zone 5 http://www.groworganic.com/seasonal-items/fruit-trees.html and see all our fruit tree info in one place at Fruit Tree Central http://groworganic.com/organic-gardening/articles/fruit-trees Happy to hear you like our site!
