Compared to vegetables, fruit plants have the advantage that they do not have to be replanted every year. Over many years they bear fruit and provide thereby for rich harvest.<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone who has ever had a fruit tree in their garden knows how easy and productive such plants can be to care for. This not only ensures their own supply, but also that of their neighbours. In addition, the plants are not only practical when it comes to harvesting, they also visually enhance the garden and provide a shady spot in summer.<\/p>\n Since fruit trees and shrubs are planted for many years, the garden should be designed with the exact location of the plant in mind. The size and space required must be adapted to the needs of the crop. Sunny, semi-shady or shady locations determine the later yield and growth of the respective variety.<\/p>\n The size of the garden and one’s own preference for certain fruit determine which and how many fruit plants can be planted.<\/p>\n Even people with small gardens or even just terraces do not have to do without the fruit plants. There are some fruit bushes that can be perfectly stored in tubs. These include currants and gooseberries. Also fruit trees can be realized on a small area.<\/p>\n For this there are special breeding forms such as column fruit trees. These are adapted in their size and growth form to little place. Originally they were grown as Naschobst – because the fruit is easy to reach and therefore easy to harvest.<\/p>\n The care of the column fruit is not much more complex than also with other fruit trees. With potted plants, however, care must be taken to ensure a necessary water supply. Fertilization in spring and a topiary cut in summer should also be planned. In addition there are the column fruit trees also for the most diverse fruit kinds (more information in addition with Gartenbista).<\/p>\n The column fruit trees also have the advantage of finding their place in larger gardens. Here they usually appear in the form of a large fruit hedge as a garden divider or as a colourful mixed fruit supply as an eye-catcher.<\/p>\n The larger your own garden, the more design possibilities there are for planting your own fruit. From large orchards to theme gardens, there are no limits to the imagination.<\/p>\n With sufficient space, the possibility of growing different types of fruit should be used. Different flowering and ripening periods then enable a high-yield harvest almost all year round. The first strawberries can already be harvested in May. The plants themselves should be planted at the latest in early autumn of the previous year.<\/p>\n You can harvest the aromatic red fruits until July. In June, gooseberries, early apricots and summer raspberries are added. The main berry season is in July and August. Raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, currants and many other species give a rich harvest at this time.<\/p>\nFruit growing in small gardens<\/h2>\n
