New Fruit Tree Options

Sun, 5 Feb 2006 13:10:15 EST

I recently discovered that a number of fruit trees are available that are perfect for small backyards. Dwarf trees are a common option to standard size trees and still produce a good amount of fruit. Dwarf Citrus like Meyers Lemon, Blood Orange, Kifer Lime, Tangerine and Kumquat stay small under 6 feet and produce full size fruit. Some apple species are available in Dwarf but they will grow to about 9 feet. Apples can also be planted in containers to keep the tree smaller. Some other great options are trees that have many varities of fruit on the same tree. I have seen 5 types of Plum, and trees that have lemons limes and oranges all on one tree. Apples and other fruits also come in multi-variety trees. Since these trees are grafted with branches from other varieties if you loose the branch you loose the truit. There are alot of new hybrid fruit tree options out there so check them out before you settle with an old standard.
