What I Love About Dwarf Fruit Trees |

| By: Jessica A | ||||
I am not much of a gardener, but I wanted to do something that would really give it a beautiful landscape to match the gorgeous inside of the house. A friend of mine had an idea: Dwarf fruit trees. With a shrug, I said that I didn't have any idea what that was. But I instantly fell in love with the idea after she showed me a picture she found online of the cutest little apple trees imaginable. I did some reading up and was excited to learn that apart from something to support them, they needed little maintenance. Dwarf fruit trees don't need a lot of pruning, and it's easier to protect them from birds and frost than the bigger varieties of fruit trees. After picking up several different varieties and planning the layout of the trees, my husband and I got to work. It didn't take long, and we planted a nice little row of them to stand behind the lower plants in my planned garden. I spaced them about 18 inches apart, and used stakes to hold them in place. After that, we planted some lower standing plants and flowers. Now when I have guests stop by my home, they are treated to the sight of cute little fruit trees full of bright fruit and gorgeous color-- not to mention my other cheery flowers. I'm in love with those dwarf fruit trees, and I'm so glad my friend gave me the suggestion! |
