What I Love About Dwarf Fruit Trees

Recently my husband and I moved into our dream home. It was exciting just to get into it. It was absolutely perfect. Our new home had the most lovely fireplace and high vaulted ceilings. It was a dream come true. The only thing wrong was the yard– it was so bare and needed help.

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. 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 require much pruning, and they are easier to protect from the frost and birds than the larger types of fruit trees.

My husband and I got to work after we planned the layout of the trees and picked up a bunch of different varieties. 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!
