Fruit Orchard – South Georgia
Q: We are moving to Bacon County, in southeast Georgia, and I have five acres to play with. I have visions of a backyard fruit orchard dancing in my head! Where do I go for information on the what and where I should plant? Would gardeners in the area offer advice to a novice?
A: You’ll find south Georgia gardeners to be just as kind as those in Atlanta! Your first move is to call the local Extension office (800-ASKUGA1) and ask for their advice. The Georgia Master Gardener organization (georgiamastergardeners.org) has many members in south Georgia. To guide you further, I have a list of UGA fruit culture publications here. Good luck!
