Organic Fruits
Organic Gardening is the way Nature intended its vegetables, herbs and
fruits to be grown.
Fruit
are commonly divided into two categories, tree fruit and small fruit.
Some examples of small fruits are strawberries and blueberries, while
tree fruit are typically apples, peaches, and pears.
There are a few good reasons to grow your own fruit in your home garden
or as part of your edible landscape. You can harvest the fruit at their
peak and you can grow the ones you enjoy the most. There is no better
tasting fruit than one grown fresh and harvested to your liking. Another
benefit is having the ability of growing a variety of different fruits
that can produce a crop from spring to fall, starting with strawberries
in the spring and ending with apples in the fall.
Nothing Better Than Fresh Fruit
When
growing fruits, most plants need their flowers pollinated. There are
two types of pollination, self-pollination and cross-pollination. Self
pollination is when the flowers on a plant are dusted with there own
pollen, and cross-pollination is when a plants flower needs to be
pollinated by another cultivar. Apples, like McIntosh for example,
need to be planted nearby to supply the pollen needed to produce
fruit.
Tree
fruits, like apples and peaches for example, can be a challenge to
grow in the home garden because they are susceptible to pests that
need to be controlled. With a little care you can control these
problems with organic methods that wont need the use of a toxic
chemical that can harm you and the environment.
Fruits grown in the home garden are a crop that can be grown by
natural organic methods, and can be grown without the use of toxic
chemicals being sprayed on them like commercial growers use. This
allows you to grow a healthier fruit for both you and the
environment.
