Lamon Asked
What kind of 4–1 fruit salad tree grows good in Louisville, Kentucky?
The Gardener’s Answer
Hi Lamon, Kentucky has the climate for growing multiple fruit trees, including apples, pears, paw paws, cherries, and peaches. The 4 in 1 fruit tree is a multi-grafted fruit tree. Each individual graft will produce different varieties of the same fruit that ripen at different times. The following link has detailed, research-based information on growing fruit trees in Kentucky. This publication is provided by the Cooperative Extension Service in collaboration with the University of Kentucky and other land grant universities. Choose disease-resistant varieties and plant in a sunny location that has nutrient-rich soil and allows for good drainage.
