Water Wise Fruit Tree Spotlight

Did you know that fall is the best time to plant fruit trees in North Texas? Because our summers are so hot, planting a fruit tree in spring often does not give the tree an opportunity to grow and establish deep roots for drought tolerance before the heat sets in. Planting in fall allows the tree to grow deep roots, go through dormancy in winter, then awaken with the rest of the earth in spring to continue to grow roots, taking full advantage of the entire spring season. A great choice for fruit tree is the pomegranate tree. Native to the desert, this fruit tree thrives on little care and in extreme heat and drought conditions. In the event we have to go into watering restrictions, the pomegranate will still thrive , even under the most restricted outdoor watering.
