Are you planting trees for Arbor Day this year? Have you thought about planting fruit trees? They are a good consideration from a couple of aspects. First, they are deciduous trees. Deciduous trees remove more carbon from the atmosphere than coniferous trees do. Now, fruit trees are pretty small trees for removing carbon for us, but numbers count and the more we plant the more carbon they can handle. The second consideration in planting fruit trees is the food that they provide! We can always use more food for ourselves, our neighbors, our community, even our pets and livestock. The third consideration in favor of planting fruit trees is their beauty. With blooms in the Spring, ripening fruits in the Fall, and watching the process happen all Summer, fruit trees add to the asthetics of any property. We think fruit trees should be a part of every Arbor Day.
