My husband and I moved into our house in October. We have lots of space and really wanted to plant some fruit trees and have a big garden. We started planting a couple fruit trees yesterday, and one we wanted to put in the front yard adjacent to the front walk (a spot that looked like it desperately needed a tree). When we dug the whole it immediately filled with water. None of the other holes we dug in the yard appeared to be this wet! It still hasn't drained so I think it is too wet for bartlett pear that was going to go there.
Does anybody know of any fruit trees that do well in wet areas? I am willing to bet I am out of luck, but I thought I would give it a shot!
