Sweet little temptation­s Plant mini apple trees for a great hedge and harvest

Plant a row of mini apple trees – you’ll be delighted at the pleasure they give you

-

apples have a perfume that reminds you of roses –that’s because they’re part of the rose family. So why not plant a carefree apple tree in your ornamental garden so you can appreciate both its spring-blossom scent and the autumn fruit? Better still, why not use a row of little apple trees to create a border for the garden? These apple tree stepovers can also be used as miniature hedges and solve the problems associated with small gardens and the need to cram as much as possible into a tiny space. And, small as these stepovers may be, they still produce enough fruit to keep your family happily crunching through the harvest, from late summer through until the early winter.
