Fruit Orchard

BradS · May 24, 2011

I will be moving into a new home this summer that has a rather large lot for a suburban home (~1 acre). I am considering planting a small "orchard" area with fruit trees and berry bushes. I would prefer plants that are either ever-bearing or that fruit at different times so that I have fruit available for as long as possible.

What would you suggest for a an area 30' x 50'?

I have considered dwarf fruit trees but I've read that they only bear fruit for 10 years or so. I would rather have something that becomes a part of the land.
