Original Message So we moved big time on our fruit orchard planting this year and have about 20 good sized trees in and another 5 on the sidelines. After mixed results with the ultra cheap bare root plantings and planting too many "ornamentals", we are gearing our remaining orchard space toward fruit bearing trees. So far we have some different varieties of apples, peaches, plums, and pears. They are young so I don't know which varieties have been successful.

Anyone else keeping an orchard? What have been your best and most reliable varieties? We want to go totally organic and self-sufficient.

Update: We have finished planting our orchard. We wound up planting 23 full-size trees and 30 raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and grapes. We planted with care and I expect a 95% survival rate - we'll see. It's a bit windy today but tomorrow, I will take some pictures :)
