Here’s a primer on how to grow delicious fruit in your own yard — and which trees work best in small spaces.
To ensure your little tree stays little, prune it twice a year using pruning shears, a small handsaw and loppers. “Pruning at the summer solstice essentially puts the trees on a diet,” says Ralph. “It creates trees that produce family-sized quantities of fruit and are small enough to be easy to care for.”Another, larger pruning session in the winter will help shape the framework of the tree and encourage proper growth.
Akin advises opting for a disease-resistant variety that grows well in your region, such as Liberty, Enterprise or Freedom.Even if you have yard space, Mohn recommends container-grown patio peach varieties, such as Bonanza and Bonfire, which generally only reach up to five feet tall, because these options still produce more than enough fruit for the average household. Just make sure to double check that the variety will get the number of chilling hours required so it fruits properly.
