Whether your space is limited or you’re planting for the first time, certain fruit trees provide a greater opportunity for success. Climate will also be a major factor, so it is wise to research growing patterns and even consult experienced fruit farmers. FOR BEGINNERS by SJ Munoz

PLUM: Perfect for home gardens because of compact size and easy-growing nature. Plum trees often bear heavy loads of fruit and Opal plums are self-fertile. The fruit ripens early in the season over a two-week period. CHERRY: The beauty of cherry spring blooms will do much to enhance your garden. What’s more, if you plant a Compact Stella tree, cherries will bear within two years. PEACH: Most are self-fertile and add good color to a landscape. You will need to make sure you plant a tree than can survive cold winters. Columnar peaches don’t take up much space and can adapt to containers. PEAR: Perfect for any size yard. If you utilize stem training and pruning you can better control the growth form. Increase your harvest by planting more than one pear tree to promote cross pollination. APPLE: Can be grown in a pot or an orchard and their spring flowers provide a unique beauty. FIG: Near the top of the list when it comes to maintenance as fig plants grow with few demands. Figs are self-pollinating and can be raised in a container.

Once you’ve decided on the variety of fruit to plant consider using multiple cultivars which
