How to Grow Fruit Trees in Small Spaces

Wade Muggleton from the Three Counties Orchard Project looks at how to grow fruit trees in even the smallest of spaces.

He also shares how to best use your space for fruit trees, by using different root stocks and methods of pruning. Wade even has a tree with seven different apple varieties – all on one tree!

I appreciate seeing footage from different seasons. It goes to show the preparation and thought you put into this video. Well done!

Really truly amazing. I was feeling a little discouraged about our space and fruit trees but am brimming with ideas now!

[jillhoward]

I love the arch idea! I haven't seen that before.

Bro this guy looks like a tree. Respect. That's a cool garden!

Thank you! So useful to see mature examples of cordons and espaliers and how much space they take up.

Very helpful, as we're about to grow our own apples for the first time. I love how well-managed and inviting his garden is, without being fussy.

Hello from FL. This is beautiful to watch. It’s amazing how much can be done in a small space, beautiful and fruitful. I will get my permaculture backyard garden planting on Monday. I live in an HOA. I was so happy to see my proposal approved. I’m learning a lot, since I’m a beginner. I have a large yard, but I need to keep it beautiful, so the HOA will not have an issue. I like to see my neighbors hopefully do he same, have an edible garden.

WOW! Truly amazed at all the various creative ways to grow beautiful fruit trees in a small space. I had no clue! Thank you for creating this video and sharing your knowledge.😊

Fantastic, I can only grow in pots, but am really into forest gardens, so I’m going to plant a Dwarf one, in pots/containers!. With Strawberries for ground level.

Fantastic video ! You have inspired me to graft my six container apple trees into then get some more varieties 😃

[glory_gate]

Very creative way of tree layout and unconventionally training the fruit trees! Great work, Thank you !

[bondiagarden]

What a beautiful garden! Thank you for this wonderful video Mr. Muggleton! I walked away with ideas of how to squeeze in a few extra trees in our small 1, 000 sq ft garden!

[radharcanna]

Some amazing and beautiful ideas there, especially the multi-apple tree! Thank you.

Straight to the point. Thanks. Greetings from Sierra Leone.

Absolutely amazing!
Could you maybe make a video on how to prune each type of tree? I have a border which I was planning on planting with semi dwarf trees at the back, berries bushes in between and step over at the front but what freaks me out is prunning...

Thanks for your sharing, the arch arbor growing/training style for the apple tree is amazing!

Very inspiring - especially liked the 'Frankenstein's monster' tree at the end!!!
My apple tree will be in either a small semi circular raised bed or a very large pot/container. I had thought I was doomed to choosing only one variety (how on earth is that possible?) but now I'm thinking I could have 2 or 3 !!
