Dwarf Fruit Trees 
Just the trees for your Peace Garden. Whether your 
space is small or large—grow an orchard in your yard. 
Dwarf fruit trees offer many advantages, that the 
commercial orchardists are fast replacing Standard trees 
with Dwarf trees. Dwarf fruit trees grow one-third to 
half the height of standard size trees—they taks up less 
space than required by standard trees—they bear a 
generous crop of bigger, more luscious and richly 
colored fruit than larger trees do. No waiting years 
for fruit—Dwarf trees mature faster, thus bearing 8 
to 10 years earlier than standard trees do. As a general 
rule, all dwarf fruit trees are fruit bearing at three years, 
with the exception of peaches and nectarines which 
varieties bear at 2 years. Under normal conditions, dwarf 
trees should bear fruit the following year after planting. 
Because Dwarf fruit trees are limited in height, 
they are easier. to prune—easier to spray—and fruit is 
easily harvested with a reduced damaged crop. 
| At maturity, the Dwarfer Dwarf fruit trees attain 
a height of 5 to 10 feet, and the Semi-Dwarf fruit trees

permits, fruit trees may be planted further apart, if 
desired. |
