How many fruit trees are planted in your front yard?

General Fruit Growing

I got 8 with plans for 2 more next season. So hopefully will have 10. I also have room for 3 espalier trees up against the brick wall, but don’t fool with that much.

Two figs. One outside my bedroom window in the front and one on the property line between me and my neighbor.

We do not have much of what I would call “front yard”. However there are grapes, paw paws and persimmons growing in it. All wild.

Old unknown peach, old unknown crabapple, and some american chestnuts I’ve planted. I plan to plant 4 peach trees out there, but haven’t had the motivation to put them out there yet.

Total on our city double lot, two apples, one pear, one plum/apricot on nanking cherry, and one plum/apricot on the plum root. Oh, and two apricot seedlings about three feet high.

Zero. I’m not interested in rotting fruit drawing stinging insects close to the house. My wife is very allergic to yellow jacket stings. Also, I spray my trees with fungicide and insecticide. I prefer to keep those sprays away from my front yard.

There’s plenty of room here for me to grow fruit trees in more orchard/meadow type settings.

So far I have 7 peach, 6 apple, and 42 blackberries (1 rose of Sharon, 3 pin oaks, and 3 maples as well)…but my front yard is also about 3/4 of an acre.

Then do not buy a Peruvian Apple Cactus. When they flower you get a stinging insect storm. Mainly because it is a nocturnal flowering plant. And at sunrise and sunset the insects mob the cactus to get the nectar.

I’m on a very small inner city plot. On the road verge in between our sidewalk and the street, we have two fig trees. I doubt these count as trees per say, but I also have 3 blueberry bushes and two currants in my front yard.

So, either 2 or 7 depending on how you’re counting.

We have a north-facing, 50 ft wide, urban front yard with a driveway to a 2-car garage; so, it’s not an ideal situation. But it has provided adequate space for two semi-dwarf cherry trees, one sweet and one sour. These trees grew quite large over almost 30 years, and it was nice to harvest cherries from our 2nd floor balcony. However, I’m getting too old to do a lot of ladder work; so, both trees are being replaced by smaller versions.

My front yard has about 20 pecan trees, 3 pear trees, and a couple of chestnuts. But if I count the sides and back, I’m well over 100 trees and will double that by next year. I have the trees in containers at the north end of my house waiting for me to put them in the ground this fall. What am I planting? pears, apples, pecans, walnuts, pawpaws, and several muscadines.
