If you are thinking of changing your garden and planning some new trees, you should consider planting fruit trees.  Fruit trees offer a range of benefits that you might not be aware of when they are part of your garden.  This is why you should consider what these benefits are before you start designing your new garden.  

Providing A Place To Relax

One of the most common benefits of any tree in your garden is the fact that they provide an ideal place to relax.  During the summer months, trees will provide shade which creates the perfect place to relax and enjoy the warm weather.  If you have children, trees can also provide a great place for them to play during the summer months as you do not have to worry about sun exposure.  

Adding Beauty To The Garden

Fruit trees can make your garden look better because they have an array of colors to provide.  The more fruit trees that you have in your garden, the more colors you will have and the more vibrant the garden will appear.  During the spring, your fruit trees will be full of colored blossoms and during the summer they will have colorful fruit hanging from them.  Fruit trees will have changing leaves when it comes to fall and this can also be beautiful.

Getting Your Own Fruit

One of the major benefits of having fruit trees is that they can provide you with fruit during the summer.  Of course, you will need to properly care for the trees to ensure that you get fruit that you can actually eat.  You will need to prune them correctly and you might have to spray the fruit to ensure that pests stay away.  If you want to have organic fruit trees, there are a number of natural pest deterrents that you can use instead of spraying the fruit. 

When you are able to grow your own fruit, you have the benefit of knowing where it comes from.  You also will not have to worry about what has been done to the fruit of it coming from the tree and arriving in your home.  Of course, it is important to note that your fruit trees will only be able to provide you with fruit during the summer. 

Have Access To Expensive Fruit

Most people have a favorite fruit that is generally too expensive in the stores for them to regularly buy.  If you are one of these people, you could be able to grow the fruit yourself when you plant fruit trees.  Of course, you will need to ensure that you are able to provide the right climate for the tree that you want to plant.

It is possible to create mini-climates for your trees.  If you live in a cooler climate and want to grow warm climate fruits, you should place the tree closer to a wall which reflects the heat you do get.  If you want to grow apples in a very hot climate, you will need to create a cooler spot for the trees.
