This garden is a classic example how to utilise a small space to your advantage. Careful selection of species within this garden has been crucial, selecting species that dont grow too tall whilst still giving us a little privacy from the neighbours. These trees were (Apx 2-3Ft tall) when purchased and have done wonders since being in their new home. For the first two years they have not been allowed to flower and fruit to try and establish a strong root system. As time goes on they will be allowed to fruit a little and then by the 3rd and 4th year will be in full fruit.
