Characteristics

There are many characteristics to consider when choosing fruit plants for your garden. Some varieties are self-pollinating, meaning they only require one plant to produce fruit. Others require cross-pollination, needing two or more plants of compatible varieties to bear fruit.  The size of the plant at maturity is also important,  ensuring you have sufficient space to accommodate its growth.  Sunlight needs vary depending on the species, so research individual plant requirements.

Care

Proper care is essential for healthy fruit plants and a bountiful harvest.  Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods. Pruning techniques vary depending on the type of plant, but regular pruning generally promotes healthy growth and fruit production.

Blooming time

The blooming time of fruit plants varies considerably depending on the specific variety and climatic conditions. Generally, fruit trees bloom in spring.
