Wouldn't it be awesome if during the spring, summer and early fall you were able to walk out your backdoor and pick your own homegrown fruit? Here in Kansas City, as long as you select trees that are conducive to our growing area and are willing to put a little bit of labor into pruning and pest control, you'll have delectable fresh fruit waiting for you.

Plant where they can enjoy full sun and help the fruit along by keeping the surrounding soil moist while developing.
Fresh peaches are delightful, and the blooms are breathtakingly gorgeous. Peach trees can be temperamental though. They are often disease prone, need to be carefully pruned on a regular basis and don't have a long lifespan. Like apricot trees they need complete sun and lots of water.
