Hi; Can anyone guide.
We live in the southeast and have a medium size garden.
We were looking at planting some 3-4 fruit trees and needed some guidance.

with pears is that you're eating them till they come out of your ears,

plum,

-Is this month suitable or which is the correct month to do the planting.
-Any guidance where we can buy these trees at a good value for money.
Well, personally, I'd wait until the leaves are off the trees before planting.
The vine you can plant any time - they nearly always come potted.
Remember, grape vines need *LOTS* of water. They'll send roots down
looking for it, and eventually, you won't need to keep the soil round
them moist.
