It will be 4-5 years before we call the area our winter home and we are wanting to get a 4+ year head start on fruit trees. If all else fails we will just stick to avocado and mango for the time being.
I would try to lay hands on some bulk compost, and go ahead and plant your trees.
I put in pluots, avocado, citrus, figs and blueberries...everybody’s happy.
