If you’ve ever dreamed of walking out into your yard and picking fresh, ripe fruit whenever you wanted, you’re not alone. Many of us are fruit lovers and wish we could have even just one tree that would produce our favorites. But the thought of whether or not a fruit tree would even fit in your yard, the care involved, whether or not you’d need a pollinator, how long it would take to get your first harvest and all those other questions may have stopped you in your tracks in the past.

Let’s demystify the process of deciding on a fruit tree for your garden. Yes, there are a lot of factors to consider but the good news is there are many options for types, sizes, varieties, years to maturity, and level of maintenance that different fruit trees need. There’s bound to be something out there that fits your space and your gardening style, even if that space is a balcony or your gardening style could be defined as less-than-attentive. So, before you give up on the idea of having your own fruit tree or trees in your garden, let’s talk about what you should consider before making your final decision.
