Probably no other plants in the garden give so much for so little\nwork as the fruit trees. Plant them once, give them a little care and they will\nreliably produce fruit for years to come. Every garden should have its full\ncomplement of suitable Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Peach, Plum and Pear varieties\n(and more). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fruit trees don\u2019t just produce food, they are also some of the\nmost beautiful plants in the garden and add year round interest in the form of\ncontinuous seasonal change. First you get flower buds, then flowers followed by\nleaves, then small fruit, then ripe fruit (a highlight of the summer), then the\nleaves drop. In this way they don\u2019t only feed us, they also help to connect us\nto the yearly cycle of the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fruit trees are also versatile landscaping plants ni their own right, giving privacy, shelter and shade and making up the framework of the garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
