My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Massachusetts fruit tree recommendations?

9 years ago

Hi,

I am new to orchards and am looking for a few recommendations for Massachusetts, zone 6b. I have a southern facing hill, and would like to start with an apple, pear, peach and a couple of paw paws. Are there any recommendations as to which varieties would be fruitful for me? :-)

Thank you!
