Wouldn't you love to grab a fresh, juicy peach or a handful of strawberries from your own backyard? There are many fruits you can grow in your home garden, even if you have limited space. But before you plant, put some thought into which fruits grow best in your climate, as well as the placement of your garden. Fruit trees and shrubs can live for many years if they receive proper sunlight, soil, and air circulation.
Even if your fruit variety is hardy, frigid and drying winds can kill the tender buds, resulting in no fruit for the season. The same can happen when a late spring frost hits the buds. You can't control the weather, but planting in a sheltered location, such as near a fence or hedge, will help.
