Grow Your Own Organic Fruit
There are lots of good
reasons to grow your own fruit:
• It's easy. You only need to tend most fruit trees and bushes once a
year – apart from picking the delicious produce.
• Your garden will look beautiful. Most garden fruits have attractive
blossom in the spring and the ripe fruits are very decorative as well.
• There are fruits to suit any space you have. Some fruit bushes, like
strawberries, are very small and you can even grow dwarfing apple trees
in a large pot. There are varieties to suit every garden.
• Growing fruit gives structure to your garden space. Train fruit bushes
and trees along a fence or wall. Use them to provide height and
individual focal points or to divide a garden into different areas.
• You’ll have lots of fresh, delicious and healthy fruit for free.
