I bought 2 apple trees on sale at a local nursery last week and planted them in a flower border. I did a little research first and learned that you need a minimum of 2 varieties that flower at the same time, planted within 100 feet of each other, for pollination. I got a Macintosh and a Crispin. I have wanted to try more fruit trees and other perennial food producers, but zone 4 choices are limited. I have raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb, and asparagus. I hope the apple trees survive and don't get eaten by deer.
