3. Plum Trees
Plum trees are also easy to raise, with little pruning necessary. Plum trees need full sun to produce sweet fruit, so pick a planting site that gets at least six hours a day. In order to encourage the roots to grow out from the tree, gently spread and position them without too much bending. Plum trees grow best when fertilized once per year, early in spring before the fruit has started to grow, with an all-purpose fertilizer or aged compost.
