Size

• Large fruit trees in your yard can add natural beauty to your property, since the color of the fruit and lush green leaves will stand out. This feature is also appealing to potential home buyers. Small, pruned fruit trees will look great bordering a small flower garden, and can add a pleasant scent to your yard.
  
  

Benefits

• Fruit trees can help provide your family with additional nutrition, and may help you save a little on your grocery bill. For instance, peach and citrus trees produce fruit that is high in vitamin C, and the fruit from apple trees is a great source of fiber. The fruit trees can also serve as a way for you to explain the process of plant growth to your children.
  
  

Considerations

• If you have lots of fruit trees and love cooking, you may want to consider bringing a profit by selling the fruit when it's in season. Create other culinary treats from the fruit, such as apple cider for your family and neighbors in the fall and winter, or lemon meringue pies made from fruit you've grown yourself. These items can serve as welcomed holiday gifts or products to sell.
