Growing Fruit Trees: A Garden Guide

There are many compelling reasons why you might want to grow a fruit tree or trees in your front or back yard. Ideally, it is because you want to taste fruit fresh from the tree.

There is nothing like the experience of biting into a freshly picked apple, cherry, peach or pear. You cannot beat a backyard fruit tree for freshness, availability and quality.

If you plant your own fruit tree, you have control over such things as variety. You can choose an unusual variety of fruit not usually found in the store. Stores tend to stick to the more popular or obvious choices.

They may not stock heritage varieties. The store is also not responsible for the conditions in which the tree grows. You are. As a result, you can ensure the fruit trees are free from heavy use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemical products.

Another reason to grow your own fruit tree is the beauty and distinctiveness it can add to your garden. Trees are graceful and elegant or short and stocky. They are a natural force unto themselves. A fruit tree adds grace, beauty and shade.

If you plant it in the right location, the tree will be a focal point, a specimen tree, a conversation topic.
