Hey garden gurus! Ken Lain, Top 10 Gardener, here, reminding you that size matters when it comes to fruit trees. Want that juicy Bartlett pear but worried about a 30-foot titan? No worries! Grafting lets us shrink them down!

By choosing different rootstocks, we can create semi-dwarf trees, 20-25% shorter and easier to manage. No more ladder gymnastics to reach those pears! 🪜

For truly tiny trees, genetic dwarfs are your friends. These cuties fit perfectly in containers or add charm to flower beds. Remember, the fruit stays the same size – just the tree shrinks!

So, dream big, but choose wisely! Standard, semi-dwarf, or genetic dwarf? The choice is yours! Happy planting!
