Fruit trees are an extremely diverse range of trees that come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and varieties. The only common feature of these trees is the fact that they all produce fruit that is formed from the ripened ovaries of flowers that contain at least one seed.
If you have not grown your own fruit before, then you should not be apprehensive to do so: some fruit trees are extremely easy to grow and you just need to give them enough water, a small amount of pruning and ensure that they are in the right growing situation.
People often assume that you need a large garden to grow your own fruit, but in reality you can choose a tree on a smaller rootstock and keep it in a large pot on a sunny patio.
Here, you'll find all kinds of wonderful fruit trees for sale.
