Fruit Trees

This collection includes apple, peach, cherry, fig, citrus, and other fruit-bearing trees suited for backyard orchards and mixed landscapes. Each product page lists the recommended USDA hardiness zones and pollination requirements.

Semi-dwarf and dwarf rootstock options keep many varieties manageable at 8-15 feet, making them practical even in smaller yards.

Many fruit trees are well suited for home gardens when planted with appropriate space and sunlight. With thoughtful placement, they can fit naturally into backyards, small orchards, or mixed landscape designs.

Choosing a tree that matches available space and growing conditions helps ensure steady growth and long-term health.

Fruit trees generally perform best in locations with ample sunlight and well-draining soil. Good air circulation and appropriate spacing also contribute to healthy development.

Selecting a site that supports root establishment and seasonal growth helps trees adapt more easily over time.

Early spring — after the ground thaws but before bud break — is the strongest window for most fruit trees. Fall planting works well in zones 7 and warmer, giving roots a head start before the next growing season.

Container-grown trees from this collection can be planted throughout the growing season when watered consistently during the first 6-8 weeks.

Fruit trees require regular care, particularly during establishment and active growth periods. Basic maintenance often includes watering, seasonal pruning, and general monitoring.

Developing a consistent care routine supports healthy structure and long-term performance.

Most fruit trees begin producing light harvests within 2-4 years of planting, with full production arriving in years 4-7 depending on variety and rootstock. Dwarf types typically fruit earliest.

Consistent watering, annual pruning, and proper pollination (check whether your variety needs a partner) are the three biggest factors in speeding up and sustaining production.
