Grow Fruit Indoors With Indoor Fruit Trees

by Jim and Laura Hofman

Specialty gardeners and gardeners with limited space are jumping on board one of the most popular new gardening niches - growing fruit indoors. Indoor fruit trees are a perfect option for anyone who enjoys fresh fruit and gardening. Even if you live in a small apartment, you'll have room for an indoor fruit tree, which are now readily available from online outlets.

As you'd expect from their name, indoor fruit trees are specifically designed to thrive indoors. Indoor fruit trees are small, only growing to 10-12 feet, and only that high if they're never pruned. Best of all, no matter your fruit preference, there's an indoor fruit tree for you. They come in varieties of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, and more.

How Are Indoor Fruit Trees Shipped?

Indoor fruit trees are usually shipped from the grower in a standard container, anywhere from 3 to 7 gallon size. Indoor fruit tree growers are able to ship all over the United States at any time of year as indoor fruit trees are quite hardy and durable.

How To Care For An Indoor Fruit Tree

Indoor fruit trees are perfect for a beginning gardener because they are relatively low maintenance. Two key elements to help your indoor fruit tree thrive are making sure not to overwater, and ensuring the indoor fruit tree receives plenty of sunlight.

Will I Get Much Fruit From An Indoor Fruit Tree?

An indoor fruit tree will yield fruit at a pace of several pounds annually. Yield will vary depending on what type of indoor fruit tree you own, and how well you follow the care instructions.

Indoor Fruit Tree Miscellaneous

Our indoor fruit tree seems to enjoy being placed outdoors on the patio during warm months. When colder fall temperatures arrive consistently, bring the indoor fruit tree back inside. An occasional dose of time release fertilizer can also improve fruit yield. Be sure to only use fertilizer specially formulated for indoor fruit trees.
