HOME ORCHARDS If only to provide fresh fruit, every garden should make provision for fruit trees. There is also the ornamental character of many varieties which adds to the attractiveness of home surrounds. Where areas are restricted apple trees grafted on the east malling stock and known as the dwarf variety can appear most attractive if properly spaced on a back lawn. There is also the espalium system, where by the apple tree is trained on a rather low fence line. Fruit trees are best planted where they will get the maximum sun light. It is essential that protection be afforded where prevailing winds are from the southerly or westerly quarter.
