Yesterday we planted 2 bare root apple trees, a Honeycrisp and a Honeygold, on the south side of the foot path to the frog pond. In the photo, we have added several layers of backfill and water to make sure the soil settles in around the roots with no air pockets. The grass layer was then tucked back in around the tree with roots up. We were told they may even set fruit this year if they decide they like their placement and get enough water, but it won't be anything like the yield to come in 2 - 3 years.
Check off one more pesticide soaked product I'll never have to buy from the store!
