Numerous kinds of fruit trees can be planted by the New Hampshire
home gardener, and most gardeners look for a bush or tree that will
produce fruit in a hurry, or fast shade in a hurry. There are a couple
of options, either plant a large tree or vine or set out a fast growing
tree, The problem here is that fast growing trees or plants, the cell
walls will enlarge and elongate rapidly, but less lignin and cellulose
content that is normally deposited in the cell walls is in low
concentrations, thus making the tree vulnerable to sudden temperature
drops so that the plant may be damaged of killed. Slow growing trees or
plants are sometimes the best choice for extreme cold weather
The NH winter effects the hardiness of the fruit
tree that is selected.. Very important other factors that affect a cold
hardy fruit tree survival is the consideration to stop fertilizing and
NO fall or winter pruning of the N.H. fruit trees. It is important to
plant healthy fruit trees that should normally experience little or no
growth as the winter approaches. Many N.H. gardeners paint the trunks of
the fruit trees with a whitewash or a lime-water mixture to reflect the
light away from tree trunk when the thawing takes place during the
winter “Indian Summer.” Harm can occur on the fruit tree trunk of twigs
from sun scald and can damage the tree trunk.Two cultivars of fig

very prolific producers. The sawtooth oak tree reaches acorn producing
age in five years and is a fast growing tree. The Gobbler oak tree
grows small acorns in size that are easy for turkey to crack open, and
at maturity the white oak tree is in full acorn production mode.
