Create your own Garden Orchard
Orchards are really beautiful places, but not many of us have a field sized back garden to plant the orchard that everybody wants. But the good news
are that you don’t need a field, because the number of trees officially required to make an orchard is five. It’s time you to create your own garden orchard. We will tell you how to start this landscaping process.
Five trees is a number we can work with no matter how large, or more to the point, how small our space is, because fruit trees grow in plenty of innovative ways. Take stepovers, fan trained fruit trees, or half standards for example. There are a lot of options and these smaller-sized fruit trees are easy to manage.
Always remember the importance of learn how to lime the lawn to make all your additions.

Make easy this orchard project
