Introduction

Enjoy delicious fresh fruit and juicy berries straight from your own garden. The leaves and foliage of fruit trees are important for the tree's appearance and health. Fruit trees produce various types of fruit, including cherries and sweet cherries. Young fruit trees require special attention, as a fruit tree not only produces fruit but also adds aesthetic value to your garden. Each type of fruit tree, depending on the variety, has specific characteristics and benefits. Sufficient nutrients, good growth, and a good harvest are important; therefore, ensure optimal soil and well-drained soil. When planting fruit trees, always choose a location with sufficient sunlight, as this is essential for healthy growth and a good harvest. When planting fruit trees, it is essential to provide sufficient water and water the tree thoroughly, especially after planting and during strong winds. By combining fruit trees with other plants, you improve biodiversity and soil quality. Low-stemmed trees, short-stemmed fruit trees, half-stemmed trees, and standard fruit trees each have their own advantages, such as compact growth, higher yields, or a classic appearance. Most fruit trees require annual pruning (fruit tree pruning, fruit tree trimming) for optimal harvest. When planting a fruit tree, pay close attention to the type of plant, the variety, and the proper care; always ensure you follow the correct steps for a healthy and productive tree.

Planting fruit trees is a true adventure for your garden, big or small! Imagine: you plant a small tree and watch in amazement as it blossoms anew each spring—as if nature is giving you a personal gift. And then there are the fruits! Apples, pears, cherries that you pick with your own hands, fresh from the branch, sweet and juicy. This is investing in pure magic: for years to come, you'll enjoy what you've planted, experiencing nature's life and breath in your garden anew each season. We have so many varieties to choose from—apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees—there's always a tree that suits you. And you know what's best? Your fruit tree becomes a vibrant gathering place where bees buzz and butterflies dance, where your garden teems with life. This way, you combine the most useful with the most beautiful: a garden that lives and nourishes you with delicious fruits that you've grown yourself.

Buy fruit trees: harvest from your own garden

Imagine stepping into your garden on a sunny morning and picking a juicy apple or sweet pear from your own tree. Buying a fruit tree isn't just a step toward self-sufficiency; it's also an enrichment of your garden. Whether you're a novice gardener or an experienced gardener, with the right fruit tree, you'll enjoy fresh fruit and a vibrant garden for years to come.

Enjoy delicious fresh fruit and juicy berries from your own garden, picked straight from your own fruit tree.

A good harvest and healthy growth depend on fertile soil and sufficient nutrients. Therefore, when planting young fruit trees, ensure the planting site is well prepared so that the soil is rich in nutrients. Water the tree thoroughly after planting and provide sufficient water, especially during dry periods, to encourage healthy root formation and growth.

Why buy a fruit tree?

Buying a fruit tree offers many advantages:

• Fresh Harvest: Nothing beats the taste of homegrown fruit. By choosing the right type of fruit tree and the right variety, you can achieve a higher yield and the best quality fruit.
• Aesthetic value: Fruit trees bloom beautifully in spring with beautiful blossoms that brighten up the garden and also provide shade in summer.
• Biodiversity: They attract bees, butterflies, and birds, which contributes to a healthy ecosystem. By combining fruit trees with other plants, such as legumes or flowers, you improve the soil, increase biodiversity, and provide sufficient nutrients for healthy growth.
• Sustainability: Growing your own fruit reduces your ecological footprint.

Choosing different varieties within a fruit tree type is important because each variety has unique characteristics that affect flavor, yield, and growing conditions.

Whether you have a large garden or just a balcony, there is always a suitable fruit tree or small fruit tree to be found.

In addition to these popular varieties, we offer various fruit trees and other species, including cherries, sweet cherries, and various cultivars. Each type of fruit tree and variety has unique characteristics; there are many different varieties to choose from, ensuring there's a suitable option for every garden and taste.

For smaller gardens or balconies, compact fruit trees or columnar varieties are available.

Different types of fruit trees: high-stem, half-stem, low-stem and mini

As we search together for the perfect fruit tree for your green paradise, we discover that each tree brings its own charm and advantages. Standard fruit trees are true crown jewels that we can plant in larger gardens – they grow into majestic giants, their crowns reaching high into the sky, where they not only ripen abundant fruit for our harvest baskets but also create delightful shade spots and surprise us daily with their beautiful silhouette. Semi-standard fruit trees are our golden mean for those with an average-sized garden: they combine an impressive height with the ability to pick our own fruit without a ladder, and they also require less maintenance than their larger counterparts. Standard fruit trees are truly fantastic for smaller garden paradises or even for a large pot on the patio – they remain wonderfully compact, yet reward us generously with their abundant harvest of juicy, home-grown fruit. For those with limited gardening space, mini fruit trees are a true gift: these compact trees feel right at home even on a balcony, allowing us to pick our own fresh fruit. Together, we can find the perfect fruit tree for any garden, large or small, to suit your dreams and needs.

Tips for planting and care

A good start is essential for a healthy fruit tree:

1. Planting time: The best time to plant a fruit tree is in autumn or early spring.
2. Location: Choose a spot where the fruit tree receives sufficient sunlight, as this is essential for healthy growth and a good harvest. Also ensure well-drained soil. The soil should be fertile and contain sufficient nutrients for optimal growth.
3. Planting: Dig a large planting hole, preferably twice as wide and deep as the planting pot your tree comes in. Always ensure the planting site is clear of debris and well-prepared before planting. The tree should be planted at the same depth as it was in the pot, with the graft union (where the root and trunk meet) just above the ground. Backfill with soil and compost. Install a support stake.
4. Watering: Provide plenty of water regularly, especially during dry periods. Water the tree thoroughly immediately after planting, especially young fruit trees, to encourage good root development.
5. Pruning: Prune annually to maintain shape, encourage fruit production, and keep the tree healthy by promoting air circulation and light access.

Tip: Protect young fruit trees from strong winds after planting to prevent damage. Also, always choose the right plant for your garden to ensure optimal growth and biodiversity.

With the right start, sufficient sunlight and good care, such as regular pruning, your tree will remain healthy and will produce rich harvests.

Healthy growth of fruit and nut trees

Healthy growth, that's what we strive for – because loving care produces the most beautiful harvest and a tree that grows with you over the years. Whether you choose standard, short, or half-standard fruit trees: every tree deserves your attention and dedication, just as you deserve yours. Start at the beginning – choose the perfect fruit tree that suits your garden, your life, your dreams. Consider the space you have, feel the soil beneath your feet, experience the climate in your region. Because for a bountiful harvest – and we don't just mean fruit, but also the satisfaction of creating it – we regularly feed our trees with the right fertilizer and prune them at the perfect time. By pruning, we keep the tree in shape, just as life keeps us in shape. We remove dead branches and crossing branches, encouraging new growth. This way, all branches – just like us – receive sufficient light and air, which keeps diseases at bay and allows fruit production to flourish. Whether you plant a single fruit tree or a whole row of trees, with the right care, that loving attention we all deserve, you'll enjoy perfect fruit trees year after year, adorning your garden and providing you with the delicious fruit you've so patiently awaited.

Pruning fruit trees

Pruning your fruit trees is pure love in action—it ensures your tree stays healthy and grows healthily, so you'll be showered with an abundant harvest! By regularly taking up the shears, you not only keep your tree healthy but also give all the branches room to breathe and soak up the sunlight. This promotes air circulation and light access, which is essential for keeping the tree healthy, prevents diseases from taking hold, and simultaneously encourages the development of fresh new shoots—ultimately resulting in more and much larger, mouth-watering fruit.

Important to know: every fruit tree has its own unique personality, each with its own perfect pruning timing and approach. We generally recommend winter or early spring as the best time to get started, just before your tree awakens full of energy from its winter hibernation. When pruning, be especially mindful of removing dead or crossing branches and keeping the crown open so sunlight can reach everywhere—your tree will thank you! With the right pruning skills, you can ensure your fruit tree yields a bountiful harvest of heavenly fruits year after year.

Fruit trees for the small garden

Even in a small garden, we can pick plenty of fruit and literally and figuratively reap the rewards! There are beautiful, compact fruit trees specially bred for those with limited space—think dwarf fruit trees and mini fruit trees that fit perfectly in our cozy gardens. These little powerhouses take up very little space, yet reward us with an abundant harvest of fresh, home-grown fruit. By choosing the right type of fruit tree for your space and needs, we can enjoy our own fruit paradise on even the smallest patio or in the most modest garden. A dwarf apple tree or a mini cherry tree, for example—ideal for us crafters with limited space but still want to savor that delicious, homemade taste of success!

Abundant harvest: how to get the most out of your fruit trees

Do we want to pick the very best from our fruit trees together and enjoy an abundance that makes our hearts sing? Then let's create the perfect soil where our green friends can flourish like never before. We start with a sunny spot where the light dances among the branches, and ensure a breathable soil—well-drained so excess water drains away and the roots stay healthy and strong. We water our fruit trees regularly with a mother's tenderness, especially when the soil is thirsty during dry days, so they never dry out and their growth can continue happily. With our hands, we enrich the soil with organic fertilizer, food for the soul of our trees, so they get all the nutrients they need to grow and flourish. And let's not forget the magic of pollination: bees and butterflies are our faithful partners in this green adventure, so we plant flowers around them to invite these wonderful creatures to a party in our garden. Each type of fruit tree—from apple trees crackling in the autumn wind to pear trees hanging heavy with sweet promise, to cherry trees scattering blossoms like confetti—has its own character and desires, so we take the time to delve into what our green friends truly need. In early spring, we carefully pick up our pruning shears and give our fruit trees a loving trim to encourage their growth and protect them from the vagaries of wind and weather. Thus, together, year after year, we lay the foundation for reaping the sweetest fruits of our own green happiness.

Nut trees: a valuable addition

We plant nut trees, enriching not only our garden but also ourselves. We cultivate these beautiful trees into living treasure troves that shower us year after year with healthy walnuts and hazelnuts—truly the fruits of our own labor. And as we cherish our trees, they attract bees and butterflies like magnets, creating a vibrant, lively world together. The beauty of growing nut trees? They demand little from us, yet give back for decades—a slow, sustainable hobby that grows with us. By consciously choosing the right nut tree, one that suits our garden space and our dreams, we add a new dimension to our garden life with our own hands. In this way, we not only harvest delicious nuts, but also moments of pure connection with a garden that sings with bees and dances with butterflies.
