With today's plant technology, its no longer impossible to enjoy the bounty of fresh fruit from your own fruit trees.
City folk can add a patio peach or a super-dwarf apple tree to their sunny border or landscape.
Dwarf trees are stunted so they stay smaller. They are grafted onto roots that will keep their size in check. These varieties often bear fruit sooner than normal sized trees will and can be pruned and trained to stay 4 to 6 feet tall. Just about any fruit tree can be purchased as a dwarf. Apples, peaches, apricots, cherries and pears are the favorites.
