I started planting trees on my land 5 years ago, right after I bought it. I had walnuts, plums, and apple trees planted. Last year I decided to significantly expand my garden by planting more than ten different fruit trees, as well as firs, oaks and maples.
The result was ambiguous. There are both bad and good. I'll start with the bad. Of the 5 firs and one pine that I planted, only one crooked spruce (I don't know what it's called correctly) and a small blue spruce that I planted by the path survived.
All the other conifers died. I don't know for what reason. Maybe the soil didn't fit, maybe something else. Of course, I applied fertilizers, mulched them with needles, but it didn't help.
In the orchard, there is also bad news. Two mulberry seedlings died. It's funny, but these were the only trees I bought, the rest came to me for free.
One small apple tree, a walnut and a cherry also withered.
But the rest feel great.
Two apple trees, 3 plums, 5 nuts and one cherry. They all feel great.
In autumn, instead of dead trees, I will plant new ones and expand my garden even more.
