Adding fruit trees to your landscape or garden is a wonderful way to add natural beauty, pollinator support, and tasty fruit to your property. Additionally, fruit trees can provide shade and can offer a solution to open spaces where full landscaping does not make sense. In Western Washington, there are a variety of factors to consider when choosing and planting fruit trees. A professional landscaper can help you decide what varieties will work well on your property. There are also many resources online that specifically relate to Western Washington home fruit trees that can help you choose the type and variety of trees to plant. 

Types of Fruit Trees

There are a variety of fruit trees that perform well in the Puget Sound region. While Eastern Washington is known for its apples, it is also possible to grow many varieties on the Western side of the state. Cherries, apricots and plums are also popular choices. The Western Washington Fruit Research Foundation has cultivated a list of fruit tree varieties for the Puget Sound region. 

When choosing the type of fruit trees to plant, don’t forget to consider your personal taste as well as practical considerations such as height, color and production. Plum trees may be beautiful and the perfect fit for your yard, but if you don’t like to eat plums, choose something else. 

Where to Plant

Fruit trees are smaller than many other trees found in the Pacific Northwest, but they still require space around and below. Space not only helps the tree flourish, it makes harvesting easier. Extra space around your fruit tree also means you can add deer fencing, if necessary, until the tree is established. If you do not have much space, there are several dwarf varieties of fruit trees you can choose from. 

If you are more interested in fruit trees for their ornamental value and the fruit itself comes second, then planting fruit trees within complex landscape design can be a great way to add height, establish a boundary, or add a light color to a space. 

Pests & Other Considerations

Unless you are in a city or an urban neighborhood, deer can be a nuisance to fruit trees, especially younger and less established trees. You may want to protect young trees with fencing or other deer deterrents.Raccoons and rabbits can also damage fruit trees. Fungus and bacteria can attack fruit trees, as well as certain insects. You can learn more about these pests from the Western Washington University Extension web page on the topic.

    Superb blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!|

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
    problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My
    site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of
    it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off?

    I’d definitely appreciate it.

    Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a
    similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

    I drop a comment when I appreciate a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the conversation. It is caused by the sincerness displayed
    in the post I looked at. And after this post The Growing Trends in Content Theft:
    Image Theft, Feed Scraping, and Website Hijacking ?
    Lorelle on WordPress. I was moved enough to post a thought 😉 I actually do have a
    couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Could
    it be only me or does it look as if like a few of these responses come across like they are coming from brain dead folks?

    😛 And, if you are writing at other sites, I’d like to keep
    up with you. Would you list the complete urls of
    all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

    I think that you just could do with a few p.c.
    to power the message home a little bit, however other than that, that is excellent blog.
    A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.

    Hi there would you mind sharing which blog
    platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog
    soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme
    of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s
    very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.

    I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this.

    Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome.
    Exceptional Blog!
