Hi! I planted 4 fruit trees this year. I purchased them via Starks. They are the 2-in-1 apple, plum, asian pear and cherry. They are in a fairly protected area, but I've never dealt with a grafted tree before and I don't know if they need to be burlap wrapped for the winter, pruned down or what. I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you!
Deb

I assume you planted them this spring? If so they should make it through the winter just fine assuming they are rated for your zone. I usually prune here (zone 6) in late Feb. which would rid the tree of any winter damage.

Hi Red,
Thank you for responding. Yes, I planted the trees in the spring. I bought them "pre-pruned". They have grown quite a bit this year and I'm quite pleased. I made sure before purchase that they were rated for at least a zone below mine, just to be safe!
Now I'll just relax until the leaves fall and I have to rake them up!
All the best,
Deb
