Apples And Cherries For A Hot Place
Categories:
Fruit Growing
What kind of apple do you think would do best in a dry, hot climate?
What do you think of the Early Richmond cherry in such a place?
Apples most likely to succeed in a dry situation are those which ripen
their fruit very early. The Red Astrachan is on the whole the most
satisfactory, but there are many places which are altogether too dry and
hot for any kind of apple. Whether cherries would succeed or not you can
only tell by trying. Possibly the trees would not live through the
summer if your soil becomes very dry. The most hardy cherries are the
sour or pie cherries and the Early Richmond is one of this group.
