I'm thinking of getting a small fruit tree to go in my garden but much to my shame I've never grown/had a fruit tree in my life!
I'd like a tree for blossom, wildlife and birds and to break up the lines in a newly(ish) landscaped garden with lots of square edges... any fruit would be a bonus really, I'm expecting the birds to get the majority!
I'm thinking of getting a dwarf tree as I'm short and not keen on ladders (neither is OH) so want maintenance at high levels to be kept to a minimum! *I also don't want to deprive next door of light unnecessarily!
I'm thinking of a self fertile cherry.
The pic below shows where I'm thinking of putting the tree.
Would that position be suitable?
Would a tree like this work? I'm wondering if something that only reaches 2m high with a spread of 1.5m will just look odd!
