There’s something extra rewarding about growing plants that look beautiful and give back season after season — and that’s exactly why fruit trees and berry bushes are our Plant of the Week! From sweet blueberries & strawberries and juicy raspberries to unique favourites like goji berries, now is the perfect time to start your own edible garden right at home - And they are showing fruit right now!
Berry bushes are one of the easiest ways to grow your own fresh fruit, even in smaller spaces. Blueberry bushes are a customer favourite for their delicious fruit, gorgeous foliage, and easy care. They thrive in sunny spaces with acidic soil and reward you with handfuls of sweet berries all summer long. Raspberries are another garden classic, producing generous harvests year after year and quickly becoming a family favourite for snacking, baking, and homemade jams.
Looking for something a little different? Goji berry plants are packed with vibrant red berries and are known for being hardy, fast-growing, and nutrient-rich. They’re a fun addition to edible gardens and make a great conversation piece too.
Fruit trees are also a wonderful investment for your yard. Apple, pear, cherry, peach, and plum trees not only provide fresh fruit, but also beautiful spring blooms that bring colour and pollinators to the garden. Many varieties are compact enough for smaller properties, making it easier than ever to enjoy homegrown fruit.
Whether you’re planting a full backyard orchard or simply adding a blueberry bush to your patio, fruiting plants are a great way to enjoy fresh flavours straight from your own garden. Plus, there’s nothing quite like picking sun-ripened fruit right outside your door.
