Fruit for Small Spaces

Fruit that stays small enough for a city lot, a side yard or the edge of a garden. No ladders, no 20-foot trees, and most of these will fruit within a few years of planting. They're as cold hardy as anything we sell.

More about fruit for small yards

Romeo and Juliet are dwarf sour cherries from the University of Saskatchewan. They top out around 8 to 12 feet, they're self-fertile and they take zone 2. See Romeo vs Juliet to pick one, or plant both.

The bush cherries Jan, Joy and Joel come from Elwyn Meader in New Hampshire. You pick them standing on the ground in early September. Nanking cherries stay shrub size too, with sweeter white-fruited Ian White and Jules and the red Nanking cherry bundle, all hardy to zone 2. Nankings need two different plants, which is why they come as bundles.

For blueberries, our half-high blueberries stay knee to waist high and take zone 3, as long as you give them acid soil. Our Nanking vs sand cherry page helps if you want a fruiting hedge.
