The Miniature Fruit Garden

How can you raise fruit trees in a home landscape that is short on space? The answer to this question has been pondered and subsequently addressed by horticulturists around the world. Today's gardeners find an answer comes in the form of miniature or dwarf fruit trees, dubbed by some as the future of home orchard cultivation. Yet the concept of small space orchards is not new. For instance, one version can be found in The Miniature Fruit Garden, or the Culture of Pyramidal and Bush Fruit , written by Thomas Rivers and published in 1886. This book, its 19th edition is, as the author notes, "satisfactory proof of the successful application of the rules laid down in the preceding editions."
