When is the Best Time to Plant Fruit Trees?

Satsuma and fig trees

We bought fruit trees a few week ago, a satsuma orange and a fig. The brochures said that we could plant those fruit trees any time during fall to spring seasons. We are very much doubt since temperature still cold. We are waiting until temperature quite mild (more than F 55 or C 13 degree).

We think that early March is appropriate time to plant satsuma orange, since higher temperature and daylight around 10 hours daily. The best temperature for growing a young tree of oranges.

Our orange at backyard

We have an orange tree at backyard, the tree provides number of oranges every November for us. The skin of orange is loose and thin, thus easy to peeled skin from a fruit. The taste is so sweet, I think the sweetest I ever found.

Unfortunately, the tree infected by diseases, we suspect the bacteria, it is because both leaves and fruits to be wrinkled. We expected no free orange this year, hence we need to replace with a new orange tree, satsuma.

Fruit trees are ready to be planted

In addition to orange, we bought a fig tree. The best time to grow this fruit is similar to orange. It is said that this fruit is not so difficult to grow in any kind of soil. The tree could mature as young as 2 years to 6 years. Actually the fig grow faster, and need more water to produce fruits.
