Fruit trees offer a better return on effort than anything in the garden.
A single semi-dwarf apple tree, for example, can produce up to 500 apples in a season, with a productive life of 15 to 20 years. Several trees, with different harvest times, can bring fruit to your table 8 months of the year. With your own fruit trees you know exactly what you're getting. No sprays, no wax, no chemicals. The cost of organic fruit is high.
