> Make the coast of your failure as low as possible, less than 50$ cowards never win. 1) Fail as many times as possible and kill plants. 2) If you want to spend money in a plant that you like, for Pete's sake, do it. Is cheaper than your twenty pairs of shoes that you rarely use and didn't feel guilty for buying it. Why with plants should be different?. Fruit trees involve a small money investment but a big time investment, so do your homework and 3) buy the best quality that you can afford (And I'm not talking about size, I'm talking about quality). We graft trees for some reason. We culture some varieties and not other for some reason. Money is not so relevant here when fruit trees will pay for themselves. You will need to water and care the plant and wait for three to eight years (yup) to see if this is the right thing or just a pale weak thing that never keeps its promises, so maximize your chances from the start. 4) Educate yourself. You will spend five years in a project, wouldn't you spend an extra day to save five years? Take your time before to think about it. Spend a few hours studying how to care for it. Buy a book. Browse on internet. Send an email. Ask a friend. 5) Buy plants from a professional, and talk with him/her. Not in your warehouse. Not in your supermarket. Not in a dark coin of the street. Never buy plants by compassion impulse unless you know why are you doing it. 6) Repeat. Insist. Abort if necessary and start again.
