For those of you who plan on planting fruit bearing trees, remember you need two trees to bear that fruit. They "mate". There is a certain distance in which you are to do this. Talk to a nursery that specializes in trees/shrubs. They are most helpful.
OK, I have an apple tree that does make apples even if it is only one. If I plant a pear tree will that work for mating or do fruits only mate with the same kinds of fruits?
