Fruit Trees |
| Fruit
trees are very common and desirable in the home garden. Even
in smaller lots, there is often enough room for a few fruit
trees. If very little room is available, dwarf fruit trees may
be planted. Generally, fruit trees are fast growing, and if
cared for, they are not very messy trees. |
One
of the most desirable fruit trees to grow in the home landscape
is the apple tree. These fruit trees can work in a variety
of settings. They can be placed at the back or side of the
lawn, or even out on open grass if pruned so there is sufficient
space beneath in. Apple fruit trees generally require a pollinator,
or apple tree of another type, in order to bear fruit. The
second fruit tree can be worked into the landscape to complement
the first.
Other
types of fruit trees can be grown in the home garden as well.
These include pear, peach and cherry, to name a few. Most
of these other fruit trees, however, have a more limited range
of applications in the garden. These fruit trees are generally
limited to being background material for the lawn or vegetable
garden. This is due to the different way in which these trees
grow and reproduce compared to the apple tree.

| When
space is limited, several dwarf trees of different varieties
can be planted. When proper space is provided, full-size trees
are usually more desired, but this is not always the case.
Dwarf fruit trees will provide fruit that is the same size
as full-sized tree fruit, but there will not be nearly as
much. Fruit trees can also be trained to grow against a wall
or high fence, in much the same way that vines do.
