What are the best fruits for a small garden?
We recommend starting with small fruits like blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry. Tree fruits, like apple and peach, usually require more space, effort, and expense, and have more pest and disease problems that require scheduled, yearly preventative pesticide sprays, especially early in the season. Plum trees are a good option for smaller gardens while cherry trees will quickly fill out a space in providing shade and bounty of fruit. Peaches and pears are other low-maintenance tree varieties that will produce many years of quality fruit.
