A garden rich in homegrown fruit is an idyllic vision. Being able to pick fruits close to your door, for jams, desserts, cooking, or just to snack fresh off the tree or bush, is a dream of many. It is achievable in gardens of any size, and any of these selections of fruits to plant in April can help make that dream come true.
As the temperatures rise, the days lengthen, and the soil starts to warm, April can be a good time to plant fruit trees and soft fruit. April is often too late to plant bare-root fruit trees, but this doesn't mean the opportunity is lost if you want to plant fruit trees.
