Fruit bearing bonsai trees, may dwarf the larger fruit trees in size, but not in beauty.

These dwarf or small fruit trees are perfect for growing in condo’s, small apartments with sun decks or for homes with small patio’s.  dwarf fruit trees fit into your landscape very nicely without taking up a large space.

Winter brings a nice twiggy skeletal outline punctuated by the fruit which persists throughout the winter. Flowering crabapples are one of the best flowering trees for bonsai. They produce beautiful +” white, fragrant flowers covering the entire tree in early spring before the leaves appear. Little green pomes (apples) appear in summer, derived from the enlargement of the entire flower receptacle which becomes fleshy. The fruit ripens to all different colors in the fall when the foliage begins to turn to shades of yellow, orange and red.

The favorite  dwarf cherry tree is the surinam cherry.
