Fruitscaping with Banana Trees

Bananas are the best way to add tropical splendor to your landscape. Lush and fast growing, bananas can be used as a backdrop or as a focal specimen. Create a summer windbreak or privacy screen. Plant a group of 3 to 5 and create an instant shade garden. Mix in elephant ears and gingers for a South Seas paradise.

Bananas will grow and produce fruit regularly in the colder regions of the Lower South (Zones 8B and 9). It takes two things to be successful: a variety that will fruit in 9 months (most varieties take 2 years), and plenty of water and fertilizer. Bananas fruit year round in Zone 10.

The broad, flat leaves of banana trees stand out in the landscape. Plant them in clumps of three to five for a sunny tropical look. They thrive in low wet spots or on the edges of ponds. Add ginger lilies and sago palms for a jungle of your own. Bananas have a very shallow root system and dwarf varieties are suitable for containers. Therefore, you can put them in large planters around your pool or out on the patio.

Recommended Fertilizers

• Starter Fertilizer: Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
• Fertilizer to Maintain: Our varieties of Jujube Trees work great with Espoma Organic Tree-tone Fertilizer.

Banana ‘Manzano’ Apple Banana (Musa)

One of our favorite banana varieties! The Apple Banana has a superb, sweet flavor and really does taste just like apples! Fruit is on the smaller size, making it perfect for snacks and smoothies. This Musa variety is definitely a hold steady; reliable producing a heavy and strong crop.

Apple Banana (aka Manzano) is a seedless diploid that is rendered so by bearing sterile female flowers. It is not produced commercially on large scale but it is usually grown in backyards for family consumption. Its sub-acid flavor is reminiscent of a cross between an apple and a very sweet banana, which make a pleasing combination. Allow it to ripen fully before eating. The plant is quite cold hardy and will not be harmed by temperatures that are close to freezing. If frost forms on its leaves they will turn brown. The Apple Banana tree will grow 12 to 14 feet tall and is mostly green colored with just a light margin of red around the leaf.

Plant Type:
Fruit Tree / Evergreen Perennial Herb

Did you know? The banana plant is actually an evergreen perennial fruiting herb, not a tree! The large ‘trunk’ is actually a pseudostem, which is made of bulky, leafy layers that emerge and wither over time. Banana plants are fast-growing, and prone to reproducing new plants through mini clones known as suckers.

Harvest Season:
Year-round, but most predominantly in the warm summer months. With good care, bananas are capable of producing fruit within the first 15-18 months of planting. It will take 9- 15 months before the tree starts flowering and an additional 2-6 months before the bananas are ready to be picked.

(Expect approximately 3-6 months less time from planting to fruit for Banana plants in our XL Pot Size)

Mature Size:
Really varies depending on variety. Some dwarf banana varieties grow only to 2-3 ft where other banana types reach up to 40 ft tall. Most banana plants can be grown easily in containers and overwintered indoors if needed. We recommend a minimum 7 gal. planter size.

Banana plants are fast-growing, and prone to reproducing new plants through mini clones known as suckers.

Soil & Moisture:
Thrives in ample humidity! Bananas like to be planted high on a mound in rich, moist well-drained soil, nitrogen-rich soil, and humid conditions similar to their native areas tropical and subtropical regions. In well-drained soil, bananas can almost never get too much water, sunlight, and nutrients. Water regularly to maintain leaves and promote fruit production.

Top 10 Fastest Growing Fruit Trees You Can Plant In Your Garden

Growing your own fruit trees in your garden is a rewarding pastime. You can plant and care for them, harvesting the fruit as it ripens, and end with an abundant supply of fresh, healthy food. If you’re looking for one of the fastest-growing fruit trees that’s easy to grow and ideal for small yards, this article is for you. There are a number of trees out there that can be successfully grown in smaller spaces, even if you live in a city. Here is a list of the top 10 fastest growing fruit trees to help you choose from.

Table of Contents

What Are Fast Growing Fruit Trees?

Fast-growing fruit trees are basically trees that take significantly less time to produce fruits. Unlike typical trees that usually take 7 to 10 years to produce yield, fast-growing fruit trees such as papaya, avocado tree, and moringa tree can only take 1 to 3 years to produce fruits.

Why Plant the Fastest Growing Fruit Trees?

You should plant fast-growing fruit trees if you want to harvest your own fruits in a relatively short time. Aside from providing tasty produce to eat, fast-growing fruit trees can provide shade, increase property value, attract pollinators, provide fragrance, as well as some floral beauty for your landscape or garden. Additionally, these fruit trees branches that you will prune frequently can be utilized to add some unique flavors to smoked vegetables and meats when used on a barbecue.

Why Should You Pick Between Seed and Grafted Trees?

Let’s talk about whether you must grow fruit trees from a grafted tree or from seeds.

If your garden has a large area, it’s ideal to grow some trees from seed. But you should also keep in mind that it will take a bit longer to harvest fruit. Meanwhile, if you plant a grafted tree, you’ll be able to eat some delicious fruit earlier than if you grow from seed.

Some growers will claim that fruit trees that are grown from seed will not produce fruit that tastes the same as the original fruit. But this is not always the case. In fact, certain fruit like most citrus will grow and taste like the original mother plant. The only drawback is it will take 7 to 10 years before they produce fruit.

So, since our topic here in this article is the top 10 fastest growing fruit trees you can plant in your garden, let’s focus more on grafted trees because they tend to produce fruits much faster. Also, remember that you must count how old a grafted tree is starting from the moment you plant it in a large pot or in your garden’s soil and not from the time the tree was grafted.

What Are Grafted Trees?

If you have never grown fruit trees, you might be new to grafting. If you go to a local nursery, you will see grafted fruit trees. These trees look like much smaller trees, but they are an ideal pick because you’ll get fruit much earlier compared to trees grown from seeds.

Grafting is basically a planting method where a budding stem of one tree is inserted into some portion of the trunk of the rootstock. The rootstock becomes the lower portion of the tree, and the budding stem then becomes the scion, which is the upper portion of the tree.

The grafting method is usually used with varieties of trees that are hard to propagate from seed. The result is a sturdier plant that will begin bearing fruit 1 to 2 years earlier than when it is grown from seed. The only drawback is that grafted trees tend to be more expensive. But take note, you’re trimming years off when you have to wait for a harvest, so it’s certainly worth the money!

If you’re patient and can wait for 7 to 10 years, then you can choose to grow from seeds, Plus this approach is much cheaper. Well, that is if you are patient and willing to wait for more than five years.

Which Fruits Grow Fast?

The feeling of going out into your own garden and picking fresh fruit directly from the tree you planted is just amazing and satisfying. But fruit trees that take more than five years to bear fruit can be discouraging to a lot of gardeners who want to see quick results.

For gardeners like us that want to see a quicker turnaround from our backyards but still do not want to give up the thought of eating fresh fruit from their very own plants, there are many kinds of fruit trees that can produce fruit pretty fast. Some good examples of the fastest growing fruit trees include peaches and figs as they can give you a bountiful fruit harvest within the first year they’re planted if they are grown properly.

With that said, here are the top 10 fastest-growing fruit trees you can plant in your backyard.

Comparison Table of Top 10 Fastest Growing Fruit Trees

Before anything else, let’s take a look at this table that shows some basic information about the fruit trees we will discuss in this article. These factors can help you decide which fruit tree to choose!

COMMON NAME	NUMBER OF YEARS TO PRODUCE FRUITS	MATURE SIZE OF TREE
Peach	2-4 years (from seedling)	4 to 6 ft. for dwarf trees; 25 ft. for standard trees
Mulberry tree, red mulberry, white mulberry	1-3 years (from seedling)	35–50 ft. tall, 35–40 ft. wide
Early Harvest Apple Tree	1-3 years (from seedling)	25 feet
Banana tree, plantain tree	10-15 months	2–30 ft. tall, 1–15 ft. wide (varies widely by species)
Apricot Tree	2-4 years(from seedling)	20-30 ft. tall and wide.
Lemon tree	1-3 years	20 feet tall and 15 feet wide
Guava	3-4 years (from seedling)	4–20 feet (indoor plants will be smaller)
Edible fig, fig tree	3-5 years (from seedling)	10-20 ft. tall, 10-20 ft. wide
Asian pear, Korean pear, Japanese pear, Taiwanese pear, Chinese pear, apple pear, zodiac pear, papple, sand pear	2-3 years (dwarf variety/grafted)	30–40 ft. tall, 30–40 ft. wide
Sweet cherry, wild cherry, gean	2-3 years (dwarf variety/grafted)	Up to 65 ft. tall

Peach Trees

Peaches are typically in the list of fruits that contain the most pesticide residue, according to a non-profit organization called Environmental Working Group. This is the main reason why you would want to plant your own peach tree, especially if it’s one of your favorite fruits.

If you want to savor this tasty fruit without any harm to your health, why don’t you consider growing your own peach trees? Unlike citrus fruit trees, peach trees don’t require a tropical temperature condition.

Peach trees have different sizes, even dwarf cultivars that you can plant in a pot, so there’s no reason for you to stop from nurturing a peach fruit that you can add to salsa, smoothies, canned preserves, as well as cobblers.

Peach trees usually take only around 3 to 4 years to produce some bountiful yields. But if you want to enjoy the harvest as early as possible, you should buy a grafted seedling and plant it instead of a seed. Also, it’s ideal if you plant your peach tree during its dormancy period, which is early spring and late winter.

How to Grow Peach Trees

When choosing a variety of peach trees to plant in your garden, be sure to get a variety that is suited to your location’s weather. A sunny and sheltered spot is the ideal area to plant your chosen variety. You should also consider mulching around the root area in order to seal in some moisture. A rather elevated area is ideal than a lower elevation where frost can easily settle.

If you have chosen a bare root tree, be sure that the hole you will put it in will allow its root to spread well.

Take note that peach trees are self-fertile. Meaning you are not required to plant more than one just to produce fruit. Now, if you’re planning to start a mini orchard, be sure the trees have enough room to intercept the trees from shading each other at maturity. If you’re going to plant dwarf peaches, the ideal distance is 5 feet apart. For standard peaches, 18 feet apart is the ideal distance.

Important Factors to Consider

Light

Peach trees require a lot of sunlight. If you plant them in areas with lots of shade, they lose their vigor, which makes them prone to disease and pest issues.

Soil

Peach trees require good drainage and prefer sandy soil. Adding compost or organic mulch fend off weeds, ultimately keeping the soil slightly acidic and healthy.

Water

In the first two years of peach trees, it’s important to maintain them evenly moist.

Temperature and Humidity

Peach trees prefer moderate temperatures and typically grow best in USDA growing zones 5-8. Nonetheless, you can choose more heat or cold-tolerant varieties to expand the growing zone to include zones 4 and 8.

As for humidity, peach trees require at least 600 chilling hours at 45 degrees Fahrenheit in order to prompt fruiting. The trees may get damaged if exposed to extended temperatures below zero. Peaches are fine with a humid environment. However, excessive moistness can encourage fungal problems.

Fertilizer

Each spring, you must apply a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer around your peach trees. The general rule to achieve standard maturity is to add a pound for new trees and add a pound each year and up to 10 pounds.

Common Pests and Diseases

The peach tree borer is the most common enemy of peach trees. This pest looks like a wasp and deposits its eggs on the tree bark during fall. The eggs hatch, and larvae will burrow deep into the trunk and will feed on the trunk as well as the roots. You can easily spot them if you search for a jelly-like sap at the trunk. Just grab a stick to get rid of the larva by impaling it.

As for diseases, a certain fungus can cause a disease called “peach tree leaf curl.” This particular disease can lead to deformity and leaf browning. If you want to prevent and control such disease, use a copper-based fungicide in late fall or during early spring.

Peach Trees Varieties

You can choose from hundreds of peachtree cultivars out there. While these trees can conveniently produce freestone or cling stone fruits, most varieties sold for home backyards are freestone. There are also some choices like the late or early-bearing peach trees, as well as the white or yellow flesh fruit-producing ones.

Some peach tree varieties include:

• Bonanza – is a dwarf kind that only reaches 6 feet tall but can still produce full-sized fruit.
• Galaxy and Saturn – is well-known for having sweet white flesh and donut shape.
• Reliance – it’s an early season producer, which makes it ideal for cold environments.
• Halehaven is another common variety of peach trees that has a very sweet taste; some said its skin is also sweet. It is also known for being a vigorous type.

Peach Trees vs. Nectarine Trees

These two are of the same tree species. Their botanical name is Prunus Persica. The nectarine fruit is somewhat sweeter and smaller, and fuzz-free compared to peach. Nectarine trees may grow peaches, and peach trees may also grow nectarines.

Expert growers control their plants by growing grafted branches that formerly produced nectarines and attaching them to peach trees. Fuzziness is a prominent trait of a peach tree. But if it produces a nectarine crop, consider yourself lucky!

Harvesting

A planted peach tree will not normally produce fruit during the first year, and those grown from seed can only produce fruits in 3 to 4 years. Succeeding their beautiful pink spring blooms, peach trees will display a lot of tiny green peaches in the early summer months.

But aside from the natural fruit drop that peach trees do in this phase of development, you should also thin your tree, or you might experience the disappointment of walnut-sized yields at harvest time. What you want to do is get rid of all the tiny fruits and only leave the largest yields from each branch. The ideal distance between fruits must be at least 6 inches.

How to Grow Peach Trees in Pots

If you want to plant peach trees in pots, you must choose the dwarf variety. Pick a pot at least 3 feet in diameter. Don’t ever allow your peach tree container to dry out, and make sure to safeguard it from hard freezes in a protected area such as a shed or garage.

Pruning

It may look weird getting rid of healthy branches from a thick, bushy peach tree. However, correct pruning is important for taking care of the fruit size. Pruning also helps in receiving sufficient light on the branches that bear fruit.

When pruning, the finished look of the peach tree branches must have a herringbone pattern along with an open center similar to a vase. Do pruning in July. Get rid of upright shoots that obstruct fruit-bearing branches in the tree’s interior. The development of next season’s flower buds will depend on the amount of light that you’ll allow to reach the fruit-bearing branches following pruning.

Propagating

Softwood cuttings are the easiest approach to propagate a non-grafted tree. When growth is green and soft, take a 9-inch cutting in the spring. Immerse it in rooting hormone to aid the cutting take, then plant the cutting in a clean potting medium, and be sure to keep it moist. In around a month, you should see the roots forming.

How to Grow Peach Trees From Seed

Growing a peach tree from seed is pretty simple. Simply plant the seed 3 inches deep outdoors during the fall season. The embryo will mature in cold winter temperatures. In spring, the seed will germinate, and you can then transplant the seedlings to your desired permanent spots.

Mulberry Trees

The Mulberry tree makes an outstanding addition to our list of the fastest growing fruit trees. When you stroll along a bushy area and notice a mulberry tree, what you’re observing is most likely not a native red mulberry but actually a white mulberry or a cross-breed of the two.

The white variety was introduced to North America by the English before the American Revolution in an attempt to start a silkworm industry in young America’s booming textile industry. Silkworm’s preferred food is white mulberry, which makes everything connected. Sadly, this big plan failed, and the white mulberry trees went rampant because it is very easy to germinate. Of course, the well-known red mulberry trees are still there but seen much less often.

Regardless of what happened, mulberry trees of all varieties make for stunning landscape additions as long as they are chosen and tended appropriately. Both the white and red varieties and a hybrid of both feature fruits that look very similar to blackberries and have dark green leaves with jagged edges. Mulberry trees are ideally planted during the early spring and will grow fast, usually reaching heights of 10 to 12 feet in just less than six years period.

How to Grow Mulberry Trees

Even if you don’t have any gardening skills, mulberry trees are easy to grow. However, they are not fitted to every backyard. Make sure to choose one of the many seedless varieties out there, such as the Morus alba’ Chapparai.’ This variety is a weeping cultivar. Or you could also choose Morus alba’ Kingan’, which is a very drought-tolerant variety perfect for drier areas.

It is crucial to remember that mulberry trees can have very fast-growing and abundant roots. So make sure to plant a mulberry tree away from crucial structures such as your garage, driveway, or foundation. You also don’t want to plant it from features such as sewage lines, septic, or utility, so the roots don’t damage essential parts of your property. You must also consider the tree’s mature height and choose a spot where it can be maintained relatively free of pruning to avoid stress and just simply allow it to produce a bountiful harvest.

Important Factors to Consider

Light

Mulberry trees can flourish in both partial shade and full sun conditions, but just like with many fruiting trees, the more light you give to it, the more fruit you’ll harvest. When a mulberry tree reaches its maturity, it will be most likely one of the tallest specimens in your garden, so you do not need to worry too much about light when deciding where to plant it.

Soil

Mulberry trees are quite adaptable and can thrive with sand soil, loam, and clay with ease, so long as the mixture can keep up enough drainage. Moreover, mulberry trees can thrive in neutral to mildly acidic pH levels.

Water

In order to aid your plant in establishing a strong root system after initially planting it, you must water it deeply and regularly. The recommended amount is 2 to 3 gallons every week for the first year. Mulberry trees are quite a drought tolerant after the roots are established. But of course, remember that prolonged dry climate can lead to a decrease in fruiting or early dropping of the fruits before they are completely ripe.

Temperature and Humidity

Most mulberry trees are cold-hardy and can thrive at temperatures as low as -25 degrees Fahrenheit or around -31 degrees Celsius during dormancy. But the right temperature to produce optimal yields is between 68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Fertilizer

Mulberry trees can thrive with minimal fertilization, but of course, they will flourish even more with a yearly application. Apply fertilizer to your tree once in late winter using a balanced 10-10-10 mixture. You should also measure out one pound of fertilizer for each inch of the trunk’s diameter.

Common Pests & Diseases

Mulberry trees can be prone to a lot of pest issues such as mealy bugs, scale, and whitefly. But the great news is that these bugs will not really cause a lot of damage to mature mulberry trees since they are tough enough to withstand such pests. This is great because treating a huge 50-foot tree is no easy task at all. If you detect signs of infestation on a more vulnerable young sapling, just put some horticultural oil such as neem oil.

Mulberry Tree Varieties

If you’re in North America, there are five mulberry trees you’ll most likely consider:

Morus Alba – this variety is also known as the white mulberry tree. It is the most common variety found in the USA. It can be easily identified from other trees in its genus because of its white, blackberry-shaped produce. It’s still available in the nursery market in many cultivars that are sterile and ornamental, which makes them ideal for planting.

Morus Rubra – this one is a native red mulberry and pretty short-lived. It has rough leaves that are twice as long as the white mulberry tree and has a coarse, hairy underside. Its fruit’s color begins light green then turns dark purple or red when ripe. Red mulberry trees are usually very hard to look at in the nursery trade.

Morus Nigra – also known as black mulberry, is a variety that is usually 40 feet tall and produces dark purple or almost black fruits that are pretty large when ripe.

Morus Australis – this one is also known as Korean mulberry. It is small and only reaches only 20 to 30 feet at maturity. It has light green foliage, which is slightly glossed, and fruit that ranges in color from deep purple and red to almost white.

Morus Celtidifolia – Texas mulberry trees appear more shrub-like than a tree, and they are native to the Southwest. It can grow to a max height of just 25 feet. Its edible fruits are nearly black, purple, or red and are very suitable for drawing wildlife to your backyard, particularly birds.

Harvesting Mulberries

Mulberry trees will be ready to produce fruit after around three years, and when they produce, you better be prepared to harvest. You can expect the yields to be ready between June and August, but that is not to say that they will all hit peak ripeness all at once.

As a general rule of thumb, the darker the produce, the sweeter it is. Remember that mulberries are very tender and will crush very easily. The fruit can be a sticky mess if you just let it fall to the ground. So make sure to harvest it promptly to protect it from property damage, wildlife, and insects.

There are two methods of harvesting mulberries. The first method is simply by handpicking the fruits, which can be a daunting task. The other method is by shaking the tree. If you want to pick a lot of fruits, you can place an old sheet or tarp under the tree and give it a good shake. You can then gather the unbruised mulberries and carefully ready them as part of jam or jelly. You can also freeze the fruits to use them periodically as you want.

Apple Trees

Let’s talk about a variety of apple trees called “Early Harvest Apply Tree” since our topic is the top 10 fastest growing fruit trees you can plant in your garden. As the name implies, this variety is a high-yielding fruit that is grown for its tasty apples.

And also because it produces bountiful harvest the earliest. Native to New York, it produces medium-sized golden apples that are ready to be harvested as early as July in certain areas. September is the expected latest harvest for this kind of apple tree.

The fruits that grow on this tree have creamy white flesh, which is both tart and juicy when they are ripe. They are an in-demand choice for baking when they are harvested early, and you can keep the fruit fresh in the refrigerator for many weeks.

Normally, the early harvest apple tree can grow to a height of 20 to 25 feet and can spread around 25 feet during its maturity. There’s also a semi-dwarf type that can grow to a height of 12 to 15 feet. And there’s also a dwarf type that can grow to about a height and spread of 10 feet.

How to Grow Early Apply Harvest Tree

This type of apple will grow in an oval shape that spreads, though it can be upright, erect, or horizontal. It’s a type of tree that grows very fast. You’ll see the height increase of more than two feet every year.

You can look forward to your standard-sized early apple harvest tree to produce yields within six years, while the semi-dwarf variety can bear fruit in four years. Meanwhile, the dwarf variety, which is ideal for gardening, can produce fruits in three years. This type of apple tree will bloom white to pinkish flowers during the early to mid-season.

If you want to grow it, you must remember that the fruits will usually attract a number of different types of mammals and birds. Its pollen and nectar sustain essential nutrition for bees in the early to late spring season. The tree’s trunk or stem can also be destroyed by rabbits and rodents. This variety is also prone to certain diseases that most apple trees get affected by.

Important Factors to Consider

Light

This variety of apple trees will grow ideally in full sun, so make sure to plant your early apple harvest tree in an area where it will get at least six hours of direct sunlight every day.

Soil

You should plant this type of apple tree in moist, well-drained soil.

Water

This variety is not drought-tolerant, so you must ensure that they receive the right amount of water and the soil should have proper drainage. This apple tree needs regular watering.

Temperature and Humidity

This type of apple tree comes to life in the spring when both their flowers and apples grow.

Fertilizer

In terms of fertilizing, location is very essential. You can apply nitrogen-rich fertilizer around the base of the tree, but it needs to be around two feet out and six inches away from the tree’s trunk.

The fertilizer must be raked evenly into the soil, and you should repeat this process after three months. The same fertilizer can be put in a three-foot circle around the tree when it reaches two years of age.

Other Varieties of Apple Trees

To guarantee pollination and fruit production, the early apple harvest tree will need a compatible second tree to cross-pollinate with, which is also known as a cultivar. The second tree must be planted within 20 feet for dwarf varieties, 50 feet for semi-dwarf trees, and 100 feet for the standard size trees. They can be cross-breed with red Jonathan, red delicious, Lodi, and a number of apple tree varieties.

Pruning

The ideal schedule to prune apple trees is either late in the winter or very early in the spring when they enter their dormant state. It is the time when the leaves have already been shed before new buds emerge. Try to plan for just before the growth starts in the spring so that the cuts will have time to heal and will not be left exposed against the coldest winter temperatures.

Pruning is crucial for apple trees since it will let growers pick a basic structure for the tree and make it easier to maintain and potentially acquire higher produce of fruit. You will want to be sure to get rid of diseased or dead wood to help the tree remain healthy. Plus, pruning can also help the tree by allowing more direct sunlight to be absorbed.

Banana Tree

There are many varieties and species of plantain and banana trees. While these tropical fruiting plants are usually referred to as trees, they are actually huge herbaceous plants. This means they don’t have a woody stem. Rather, they have fleshy, upright stalks from which huge, oblong, and bright green leaves grow. Showy flowers usually emerge in the spring, giving way to the fleshy, elongated, yellow, or green fruit.

Regardless of the capacity of your landscape or backyard, there’s certainly a banana tree to fit. Additionally, they can make good houseplants with sufficient light. Banana trees usually have a fast growth rate, and that’s why they must be planted in the spring.
