9 Best Fruit Plants to Grown in Your Garden:

I grow most of the items on the list. Peaches and figs are out of the question in zone 4. On the other hand, I get loads of production of red currants and plums. I ate both of those today from last year's harvest.

With our acidic soil here, we have blueberries and blackberries growing wild. The kids and I went blackberry collecting one year and I made a batch of jam. The blueberries are the tiny ones and the birds eat most of them before they ripen. We’ve also got service-berry trees here and I actually managed to taste a ripe one that the birds missed and it tasted a lot like a blueberry.

Growing up in MA I used to feast on wild blueberries. The woods were loaded with the small ones and there was a hill/knoll I found that had the big ones. I called it blueberry hill of course.

I’ve been meaning to buy some bluecrop or one of the other varieties that the ag ext office recommends.

Looking at Gurney’s and the prices have gone up quite a bit. I got a nursery catalog in the mail this year from Chief River nursery in WI. They don’t have the selection that Gurney’s has but the prices are better.
