What fun to plant a fruit tree with the grandkids.

I always say when planning an edible crop that you should plant what you like. That being said if it where me, I would steer them toward apples. They are a good crop for Ohio. 

You would need two different types of apple trees for good pollination. I have included a link to a chart to help with picking compatible apples and it explains why you need two different ones. You can get into as much of a 'birds and bees' talk as you feel like.

I have also included a couple of fact sheets and bulletins. One is a PDF of a Power Point. There is no transcript, but it will lead you through picking a tree to plant if apples are not for you.

Have fun!!!
