Permalinka bit later than I'd intended (the heat/dry has started, so it's not really the time to be planting trees), but given our fig, pink lady apple and pomegranate are really needing to be out of their pots, we'll plant them anyway. The holdup has been in deciding just where to plant them, still allowing us room to plant the rest of the fruit trees on our wish list. And now, I have a plan (subject of course to checking tomorrow with stakes to make sure it actually works as I think it will:-) )

Best of luck! Fruit trees are just magical. Our fig tree, purchased as a small cutting in a pot, took a few years to bear fruit - but now, twice a year it is just bursting with fruit.
What lovely fruit trees to have, though. Good luck with the planting.
Well, placing the markers out suggested the plan should work (and leave room for the chook tractor to move through!) We've gone ahead and planted those—and an extra fig (because it crossed our paths, and seriously, who could resist a fruit tree called 'Italian Honey'!), and a Granny Smith apple (because it seemed a shame to waste the Pink Lady's flowers… Although it seems to have set fruit rather more rapidly than I'd anticipated, so maybe there's another suitable apple nearby!)
