5. Cherry Tree
One of the most popular fruits out there, sweet cherries which rank 5th ono ur list of easiest dwarf fruit trees to grow in containers or mini garden, are at the top of almost anyone’s list. If you want to grow sweet cherries and the climate where you live is relatively warm, you are good to go. Generally, you can expect to grow up to 14 quarts of fruit in just a single season, assuming a reasonably healthy 6-8 feet tree.
Provide adequate watering for the plant until the tree is properly grown. If the plant is in an open area which receives adequate rainfall, then extra watering may not be necessary. You should also apply mulch beneath the tree canopy to control any weeds that may grow there.
The trees should be fertilized in early spring, just like with plum trees, with a rule of thumb being that you should apply 2 ounces of fertilizer for every inch of diameter of the trunk of the tree.
Meanwhile, pruning of the trees should be carried out in winter when the plant is in its dormant stage, and should be carried out with proper instruments so as to avoid damaging the tree.
When the cherry is ready for removal after ripening, you should remove it along with its stem but take care that you don’t accidentally damage the fruit spur.
