Fruit trees come in all sizes – from high trunks to half trunks to columns and spindles, our common fruit species range from three to more than ten meters in height. And now there are the extremely small-growing patio trees. They reach final heights of just 39 to 78 in. making them even smaller and more space-efficient than spindle trees. Patio trees have the Spanish word “patio” in their name, which can be translated as “courtyard” or “terrace”.<\/p>\n
The name already indicates the appropriate place for the trees, because in most cases they are kept in pots and thus allow the cultivation of fruit far from the garden.<\/p>\n
