Christy Wilhemi, author of Grow Your Own Mini Fruit Garden shares how even beginners can become successful fruit “farmers.” Selecting the best small-scale fruit trees, bushes, vines, and plants for your climate, siting them properly, and pruning your compact trees for health and productivity are some of the many topics covered in the pages of her bible of small-space fruit growing. With modern dwarf varieties, a healthy, high-yielding garden filled with fruit-producing plants is possible—even in the smallest of yards.
