Frequently asked questions
How many Trees can I grow with PlotMyGarden?
Our plant database includes 95 Trees, each with a detailed profile covering sowing windows, spacing, sunlight, watering, companion planting and harvest timing. Use the filters above to narrow by type or sunlight, or search by name.
Which Trees are easiest for beginners?
Look for the “Beginner friendly” badge on each card — these Trees tolerate a wider range of conditions and forgive the occasional missed watering. Start with two or three, then expand once you have the rhythm.
When should I plant Trees?
Timing depends on your climate. Each profile lists ideal sowing and harvest months, and most Trees mature in around 2167 days. Connect your hardiness zone and PlotMyGarden builds a week-by-week sowing calendar tuned to your location.
Do Trees need full sun?
It varies. Every profile shows the exact sunlight requirement — full sun, partial shade or shade — so you can match each plant to the right spot in your garden. The cards above show this at a glance.
