A Space to Thrive - Guidelines for Planting Fruit Trees

Hey garden gurus! Ken Lain, Top 10 Gardener, here, reminding you that size matters when it comes to fruit trees. Want that juicy Bartlett pear but worried about a 30-foot titan? No worries! Grafting lets us shrink them down!

By choosing different rootstocks, we can create semi-dwarf trees, 20-25% shorter and easier to manage. No more ladder gymnastics to reach those pears! 🪜

For truly tiny trees, genetic dwarfs are your friends. These cuties fit perfectly in containers or add charm to flower beds. Remember, the fruit stays the same size – just the tree shrinks!

So, dream big, but choose wisely! Standard, semi-dwarf, or genetic dwarf? The choice is yours! Happy planting!
