Think your backyard is too small to grow fruit trees? Think again. You do not need acres of land, a big garden, or even good soil to grow your own fresh fruit. With the right containers and a little planning, even a tiny patio, balcony, or backyard can become a productive food forest with 20+ kinds of fruit!
In this video, Elias shares traditional Amish gardening wisdom and practical container gardening techniques to grow apples, peaches, cherries, figs, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, lemons, and more. Discover how to use every corner of your small space, choose the right fruit trees for your climate, and build a garden that produces fresh food year after year.
THE 6 GROWING SPACES:
1. THE SUNNY WALL — Dwarf apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, cherries, and figs in containers.
2. THE FENCE & VERTICAL SPACE — Grapes, loganberries, tayberries, and youngberries growing upward instead of outward.
3. THE PATIO & WALKWAY — Blueberries, raspberries, and goji berries in small pots.
4. THE SHADY CORNER — Gooseberries and red currants that can produce fruit with less sunlight.
5. THE PORCH & RAILINGS — Strawberries in hanging baskets and pepino melons in containers.
6. THE WINTER WINDOWSILL — Meyer lemons, Cara Cara oranges, finger limes, pomegranates, and tamarillos for extending your growing season.
