What Kind of Fruit Tree Can I Plant in My Yard?

Dwarf fruit trees are perfect for a backyard garden. These trees will reach no more than 15 feet in height, require little space to grow and produce fruit crops earlier than standard-size fruit trees.

Apple

Delicious homegrown apples can be as close as your own backyard.

Dwarf apple trees are easy to care for and after three years they will yield up to two bushels of apples each year. Nearly every breed of apple can be dwarfed.

Cherry

Sweet cherries for pies

Dwarf cherry trees are best known for their fragrant spring blossoms. The cherries they produce are sweet and delicious and are best used in pies and jams.

Pear

Pears produce pretty blossoms.

Dwarf pear trees begin to produce fruit after three years and provide you with a bushel of pears every year. The pear tree has beautiful blossoms that will brighten your garden in the spring.

Peach

Juicy peaches

Dwarf peach trees are usually under 7 feet in height and are easily maintained. Pruning can be done from ground level. They are known to produce peaches the first year after planting.
