The Benefits of Dwarf Fruit Trees

Recently my husband and I moved into our dream home. It was exciting just to get into it. We now had high vaulted ceilings and a gorgeous fireplace. Everything was as perfect as could be, and it was our dream come true. The only problem was that the yard was bare and needed something.

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. My friend said I should try dwarf fruit trees. Shrugging, I told her that I hadn’t the foggiest idea what that was.

She showed me a picture online of the cutest little apple trees you could ever imagine, and I instantly loved the idea. After doing some research, I found that they didn’t need very much maintenace apart from something for support. I was excited now. Dwarf fruit trees are easier to protect from things like frost and birds than the larger kinds of fruit trees, and they don’t need much pruning.

So after planning out the layout of the trees and getting several different varieties, my husband and I set 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!
