grow a little fruit tree

To grow your own organic fruits is a nice way to get in the garden, stay in nature and benefit wildlife. Most of our fruits these days are imported (even apples!) yet it’s fairly easy to grow all kinds of native fruits (that includes tomatoes which are fruits, not vegetables). Small gardens can grow dwarf vareities that just need a bit of special pruning, to keep them down to size.

Keep fresh compost away from pets. Learn how to make your garden safe for pets (fruit pips & seeds contain natural cyanide). Use humane ways to prevent slugs/snails, and avoid large-hole netting (traps wildlife), instead apply fruit protection bags (after pollination). Never face indoor foliage to gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows. 

Grow a Little Fruit Tree is a book by an expert pruner to show you how to grow your own apples, figs, plums, cherries, pears, apricots and peaches, even in the smallest backyard. These fruit trees are easy to maintain and make a lovely addition to any home landscape. To avoid pruning thorn accidents, get yourself a pair of vegan gardening gloves (created by a Kew-trained horticulturalist, profits are used to fund the founder’s animal sanctuary on Dartmoor). If you wash them, do so in a microplastic catcher, as they’re made from a polyester blend.
