The charm of miniature fruit trees

If you find yourself in a deficit of space in the garden or house to grow a large tree, then choose to plant a miniature version of it. Or you can do this just because you like the model. You can plant citrus plants, apples, peach trees or other fruit trees.

It’s all about a natural process of growing and obtaining dwarf fruit trees. They are not made by synthetic genetic transformations. If you see heavy branching on one tree it is because of a natural change in the genetic code of that specimen.
Some of the advantages for the dwarf trees are: easy pruning, small space to grow, equal number and sizes of fruits with the normal trees, a special decorative charm.

The first thing to know about growing this type of trees is about the bonsai grafting technique. The graft of the tree is thwacked on the dwarf rootstock.

The miniature apple trees produce in 3 years fruits, despite of the regular type that do this in 10 years after plantation. They are easy to maintain, due to an easy pruning. Choose the Malling rootstocks or Cornell-Geneva if you want to graft for a dwarf fruit tree.

The majority of people love cherries. Have them grow on a miniature cherry tree right in your garden. A mild winter is proper to sustain the growth of a Compact Stella up to 4-6 feet. This plant will provide you with big fruits.
