Fruit growing in the home garden provides an interesting hobby which can be profitable. Although many of the fruits that the homeowner can grow are obtainable in the market, the quality of many is best when fruit is allowed to ripen on the plant, and there is much satisfaction in producing good fruit for the use of family and frieds. Some fruits are not commonly marketed, and the home garden is the only source. In addition, many fruit plants are ornamental, particularly during bloom, and add to the landscape planting. Most home garden sites are fairly small and near the home may not be as well adapted as one would desire for commercial fruit planting. Planning the garden to best utilize the avalable space is of primary importance.
