Fruit and Nut Trees

• Fruit trees and nut trees are special and unlike vegetables they will produce for a lot of years with a better return on effort than anything else in the garden. In addition to fruit and nut production these trees can be value for shade, timber and as a support for climbing plants. Their crops are good sources of vitamins, minerals, fats and protein and make perfect snacks for kids.

  While the planting location of a tree is highly important for a successful production of fruit and nuts, when selecting a fruit tree or a nut tree from your local nursery, some additional factors you should consider are:

  * tree shape and size
  * taste, texture and use of fruit
  * time of harvest season
  * disease and pest resistance.

  Multi-Grafted trees are an alternative for small gardens where space is limited and several types of fruit are desired.
