What kind of fruit trees are best suited for the courtyard
This article introduces the knowledge of the best fruit trees for courtyard planting, including the best fruit trees for courtyard and what fruit trees are suitable for the garden. Let's learn about it together.
1. Persimmon trees. Persimmon trees are commonly planted in rural areas. On the one hand, it is said that everything goes well; on the other hand, persimmon trees have tall trunks, providing shade in summer and sun in winter. The persimmons, like red lanterns, can hang for 1-2 months and can be dried into persimmon cakes if there are too many to eat. Moreover, persimmon trees have a long lifespan and bear fruit easily and in large quantities. Therefore, they are often planted in front of and behind houses. In some places with a high number of persimmon trees, the villages are even called persimmon forests. Due to their height, persimmon trees are suitable for planting in the corners of larger courtyards, and planting a few persimmon trees often creates a wonderful landscape effect.
2. Pomelo trees. Pomelo trees are also commonly planted, reaching up to 5-6 meters in height. After pruning, they can have a good tree shape, stay evergreen, and the golden fruit hangs for a long time. Many pomelo trees in courtyards do not require maintenance and still bear fruit every year. Good pomelo varieties also have delicious fruit. Pomelo trees are the most common courtyard plants in my area, suitable for various types of yards, but the difference in management quality is still significant.
3. Citrus trees. Tangerine trees are small and often planted at the edge of the courtyard, with 1-2 plants. The bright orange and yellow fruits stand out in the autumn and winter. Therefore, people also like to plant them. Like pomelo trees, citrus trees are relatively low-maintenance, although poorly managed citrus trees do not look good.
4. Loquat trees. It is also common to plant loquat trees in the courtyard, mainly because their leaves and flowers can be used as medicine. Even if not managed well, loquat is still a good choice.
5. Grapevines. Many people enjoy planting grapes, but few can grow them well. It is relatively easy to grow grapes in the north, but in Jiaxing, there are many grape diseases. Cultivars like巨峰 (Jufeng) cannot grow well without management. Therefore, grapes are not suitable for families without management experience or those who cannot maintain them. However, for those who can manage and maintain them, grapes are the best combination of delicious fruit and beautiful scenery among courtyard fruit trees, and are an excellent carrier of horticultural art. In terms of landscape alone, the thorn葡萄 I have recommended before is a good choice.
6. Cherry trees. The cherry variety in Jiaxing is the Chinese short-stalked cherry, also known as small cherry, which is very suitable for courtyard planting. The cherry blossoms in spring and the red fruits in May are the highlights, and there's not much else after that. The fruits may be eaten by birds, but having a cherry tree at home is still very nice. If the cherry tree is large and well-shaped, it can be very artistic, especially after the leaves fall in winter, which does not affect the sunlight. However, the aesthetic value of the leaves is not enough, and yellow spots caused by diseases like shothole can affect the ornamental value.
