Four good reasons for fruit trees in the garden

At Fruithof we offer all kinds of different fruit trees. From figs and mulberries to cherries and kiwis. They are the perfect addition to almost any outdoor space. But why do you put one of our fruit trees in your backyard? We give you four good reasons.

There's nothing like the taste of freshly picked fruit. With a fruit tree in your own backyard you can pick healthy, unsprayed fruit every day. We all know that fruit is full of necessary vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately, growing them sometimes involves the use of pesticides and other chemicals. By growing your own fruits, you can be sure that this does not happen. So you have control over the quality of the fruit you and your family eat. This way you can end the barbecue under the patio cover with a delicious fruit salad.

Did you know that fruit trees attract different species of birds, bees and other insects to your garden? They help with pollination. This contributes to a healthy and more diverse ecosystem in your backyard. Plant a number of colorful plants around the trees in time. This way they come to visit before the fruit tree blooms. In addition, fruit trees can improve soil structure. The roots help strengthen the soil. Fallen leaves provide a natural layer on the ground. In this way they provide protection. A garden full of birds, insects and other animals is not only more beautiful, but also more functional. 

In addition, fruit trees provide a beautiful atmosphere in your garden. They are a diverse addition to your garden. You can incorporate them among your other plants or use them as an attractive centerpiece. In the spring they provide a beautiful view. The blossoms of the fruit trees are one of the first signs of spring. This brings some color to your garden. In the summer you create extra shade areas. These are perfect for hot summer days. This is not only cooling for yourself. Other plants that need slightly less sun are also protected in this way.

Finally, fruit trees can also save money in the long term. It is of course best to eat at least two pieces of fruit every day. By buying this every time at the greengrocer or in the supermarket, the grocery bill can increase considerably. That's why you grow your own fruit. You only harvest what you need, so you also prevent food waste. This means that a lot less transport and packaging is required. This of course contributes to a smaller ecological footprint. With fruit trees you invest in a more sustainable future for yourself and your environment.

In summary, planting fruit trees offers numerous benefits. Think of enjoying fresh fruits and improving the biodiversity of the garden. Your outdoor space will look a lot nicer and you will be a lot more sustainable. So visit one of our points of sale and view the options for a fruit tree!
