I know what you mean it is easy to overdo it. Thankfully,you will get years of enjoyment out of trees. What type of fruits besides the wyeberry and the pawpaw? Are the wyeberry and the pawpaw hard to grow?

The wyeberry is suppose to be a cross between eastern and western blackberries, and I'm not sure how easy they are to grow.

As far as paw paws, I've had a time trying to get them to do well here, but all of mine have been bare root plants so far, and from what I've read, only 1-year (or younger) seedlings can easily be acclimated bare root. This is one of the reasons why I've chosen to go with a five gallon containerized plant. The second reason is because these plants can't take full sun until they're larger. This is why you may see care guides mentioning shielding them from the sun for a few years before putting them out into full sun.

Some of the other fruiting plant/trees I've bought or acquired this year:
various apples (have sixteen varieties total now), mayhaws (seven total now), methley plum, a dozen blueberries (o'neal i think), aronias, several fig varieties, loquat, pomegranate, chestnut, thorned and thornless blackberries, dewberries, mysore raspberry, kiwi, bunch grapes (southern home, blanc du bois, lake emerald), nikita's gift persimmon, autumn olive 'ruby', 15 pawpaw trees besides the 5-gallon one, nine varieties of American and European elderberry (2x PNW blue, york, adams, john, variegated, thundercloud, korso, nova, black beauty), chestnut 'yoo ma', chestnut x chinkapin hybrid 'connecticut early', sochi tea, strawberry tree, uniq/ugli tangelo, mulberries (2x black beauty, persian mulberry).

Nice selection xentar. I have been on a buying spree this season too.

So far this season I have purchased....

Three apples Anna, Pink Lady, Golden Dorsett.

One Gold Kist Apricot.

One Shinsheiki Asian Pear.

Six blueberries; three SharpBlue, one Oneal and two Sunshineblue.

Three Cherry trees Lapins, Minnie Royal, Royal Lee.

Twenty three fig cuttings.

One Nectarine Snow Queen.

Two Peach trees Babcock, Red Baron.

Four Plum trees Emerald Beaut, Beauty, Methley, Burgundy.

One Mulberry tree Illinois Everbearing.

One Almond tree Garden Prince Genetic Dwarf.

One Trovita Orange tree.

One Clementine orange tree.

There are about six more I was hoping to get but they sold out already at the more reputable nurseries. I may have to wait and order in the Fall for next year.

xentar, you have an impressive list there. I am overdoing it too. Because suddenly I found myself with too much spare time, I jumped into this. I want to slowly convert all my landscaping to edible landscaping.
Here is my list of acquisitions:
1. 9 citrus trees - Lisbon lemon, Cara Cara orange, Gold nugget mandarin, Kishu mandarin,Oro Blanco grapefruit, Valencia orange, Sanguinelli and Moro bloods, Meiwa kumquat.
2. One Santa Rosa plum
3. One Blenheim apricot
4. 2 pears - one seckel and one comice
5. 3 cherries - black tartarian, rainier and Royal ann
6. 6 blueberry bushes - all southern highbrush variety - Southmoon, Sunshine blue, misty, oneal, jewel, star.
7. One Bababerry
8. Two raspberries - red and yellow
9. 2 blackberries - forgot the names

10. 2 grapes - perlette and ruby
11. 2 Nectarines - Arctic Jay and Arctic Star
12. One persimmon - Jiro Fuyu
    I wanted a couple of Asian pears and a couple of apples, but I need to clear some overgrown evergreen bushes to plant more of the edibles. So, I postponed to next year.

I've been wanting a couple asian pears, but here's the thing. Some sources says some are blight resistant, while others say that none of the Asian pears are blight resistant. Being in the south-east, I need blight resistant varieties if possible, and this fiasco just has scared me away from buying any this season.

2 cents from the cold. this year i have yet to order anything. however, the past several years have been a bit overboard: several apples, asian & eurpoean pears, che, native and european plumbs, peaches, hybrid mt ashes, kiwi, grapes, goumi, chestnuts, persimmons, heartnut, butternuts, conrnelian cherries, bush cherries, bush apricots, honey berry, aronia, jujube, cornus cousa, medlar, quince, yellowhorn, almonds, elderberries, rogusa, filbert/hazelnuts, paw paw, maypop, lingonberry, wintergreen, jerusilem artichokes, sea berries, tons of gooseberry and currants, and starting chinquapins from seed now. along with the stuff i have forgotten. most everything is mature and producing,,and alas, some have developed fire blight, so now i am either battling or replacing.
oh well its only money,,,,right? i will probably not buy more than 10-15 different "species" this year, but hope to find a good source for affordable named aronia, i want to put in at least 50 more, some of the best wine ever.
at least i have enough frozen fruit, wine and jelly to last through a nuclear winter

scot I wish my yard was bigger so I could grow so many things. I bet your place must look something like the Garden of Eden during the summer months.

I have Globe Artichokes and Texas Sweet onions going too along with three struggling tree Spinach plants.

Well, I ended up stumbling across an Asian Pear, a Shinko locally, along with 'Daytona' and 'Suwanee' bunch grapes. More $$$ lol. I'm pondering my next Asian pear to be a Korean Giant, but we'll see how well this one does in my area.

Today, I went out to buy a peach tree and brought home a fig and a peach: a UFO peach and Kadota fig! I need to quit looking at plants!

We are starting from scratch. In October we moved into a ten year old home in the desert. The soil is your basic rock quarry, and what little was growing here (7 palm trees and some shrubby looking stuff), I pulled out and got rid of.

So far we've planted:

1 delonix regia in the front yard for shade.

1 panamint nectarine

1 little cado avacado (which everyone tells me will die within two years due to the high salt content of our water. ).

4 arapaho black berry plants which will probably also die for the same reasons.

7 figs. (1 kadota, 1 black mission, 1 bordoux, 2 "honey figs", and 2 unknow local dark figs I took cuttings from).

5 citrus. (1 tangerine, 2 oranges, 1 tangelo, 1 grapefruit).

2 tacoma stans, a palos verde, 1 honeyscukle and a couple of other smallish landscape flowering shrubs and plants.

Other than that....some squash, 4 tomatoes, swiss chard, and collards pretty much rounds out the "projects" for this year.

Besides the cost of these guys, I had to buy an electric jack hammer (called a demolition hammer) in order to dig adequate planting holes and beds in our rocky yard. The soil to rock ratio is literally about 50/50. Prior to buying the "hammer", it took us four hours to dig a hole barely large enough for the nectarine tree.

As an aside, would anybody like some free rocks?

Ending up putting in yet ANOTHER ORDER for plants:
peaches: babcock, suwanee
mayhaw: georgia
raspberry: anne
plum: golden nectar
pears: hood, improved keiffer, orient, sugar, moonglow

I think this puts my plant buys at over $1000 this year, and I'm still wanting to get more but probably SHOULD wait until next season.

Some of the stuff I really want to get:

Larger varieties of peaches - red baron is one I'd love to try, and maybe a few of the white-fleshed varieties

A few nectarine varieties

Would love to try the new Tropic Gold Apricot, which is supposed to be self-fertile and made for the hot, humid south (hybrid?)

Sastuma and a couple American Plums

Warren Pear

A few American persimmons and crosses: meader, yates, rossyanka, early golden, prok

'Amber' Autumn Olive

'Goldbeere', 'guincho purple', 'emerald lace', 'haschberg', 'alesso' European Elderberries

Chilean Guava

Tayberries

Gojiberry

Chinese Haw

Azarole, gold and red varieties

geraldi dwarf mulberry

A lot of folks have spent a lot and have built up a nice list of plants...I have been guilty of the same in the past and have built op a selection of plants and trees that would rival most of the list....I still pick up a few things that might not be in my gardens...I'm an admitted plant addict, love the variety of colors, tecture, flowers and fruit and go off on different planting sprees...this year it's growing Japanese Maples from seeds and winter squash (60, yes that's sixty) different kind....but still add to my shrubs and tree selections....what I find fun now is to walk around with my shears and take cuttings or layer a low growing branch...as I walk, I take a cutting of sea berry, aronia, viburnum, etc. and when I see a bare spot shove it down into the ground, this time of year an starting a little earlier, I started taking cuttings, carried them with me and graft...have an apple tree with a dozen or more types on it, cherries with several, pears with apples and mt. Ash on them (have good rich moist soil) and have had great luck doing this and increase the number of plants and saved $$$$

Ordered several more plants:

Pear: Harvest Queen

Autumn Olive: Charlie's Golden, Brilliant Rose

Persimmon: Rosseyanka Hybrid

I think my last order was placed for the season for real this time lol. Some companies have already stopped shipping plants for the season, and I'm saving money for a trip out of town in a few weeks. Unless some companies ship up til June, that'll be it for me!
