AT A GLANCE
Which wild fruit bushes and rare types of fruit are suitable for the home garden?
term "wild fruit"
Wild fruit trees were not changed by breeding. They are species that occur in nature. If you want to put wild fruit bushes in the garden, use the nature in your region as a guide. While in northern Germany the choice falls on sea buckthorn, rowan berries, sloe and hawthorn are the preferred crops in central Germany.
Advantages
Wild fruit is particularly easy to care for because you can leave the bushes to their own devices. Occasional pruning promotes flowering and fruit development. They can also be planted as solitary trees or integrated into flowering hedges. Their location requirements are just as low as those of the rare varieties that are often planted.
Rare fruits:
- service pear
- Black Chokeberry
- Indian banana
- mini kiwi
