This source provides an in-depth analysis of fruit trees suitable for small backyard gardens, as presented by a gardener on the "Homegrown Florida" YouTube channel. The video host evaluates various fruit trees based on five key conditions: time to harvest, mature size, sweetness (Brix score), yield, and maintenance requirements. While highlighting dwarf mulberries, sugar bell mandarins, and loquats as top recommendations for limited spaces due to their compact size, quicker yields, and manageability, the host also discusses mango, peach, and avocado trees as less ideal options. These less suitable trees are often characterized by their large size, longer fruiting times, and higher maintenance needs, including susceptibility to pests and diseases like citrus greening, or requiring specific pollination partners. Ultimately, the source aims to help small-space gardeners make informed choices about which fruit trees will thrive with their available resources.
