Green space with fruit trees for townhouses

Consumers choose fruit tree varieties at a business location in Can Tho city.

In crowded and cramped urban environments, many families take advantage of empty spaces such as terraces, front yards, backyards, balconies, etc. to grow fruit trees. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tan on Nguyen Van Cu Street, Ninh Kieu District, shared: "Growing fruit trees in the house is not only an interesting activity but also brings many benefits. Taking advantage of the small space on the terrace, I chose a few types of fruit trees to grow, which not only helps reduce heat radiation for the house but also provides fresh fruit for the whole family. Not only that, planting and caring for fruit trees at home also helps children learn to love nature, understand the growth process of plants, and appreciate the hard work of watering, fertilizing and harvesting delicious fruit with their parents"...

According to records at some plant variety businesses in Can Tho City, with limited space in townhouses, families often prefer fruit trees that are easy to grow, easy to live, easy to adapt, grow well and develop quickly. On the other hand, trees can be grown and developed well in pots, foam boxes... to save space and easily arrange and move to another place, so priority should be given to choosing grafted or grafted varieties so that the trees can quickly bear fruit and grow quickly, easy to care for. The market currently has many types of fruit trees suitable for growing in families such as star fruit, apple, guava, pomegranate, plum, strawberry... to supplement the source of quality fruit for the family; trees such as lemon, kumquat... can be used as spices or drinks and many types of fruit trees that bear fruit all year round, supplementing the source of clean food right at home. Depending on the space of the family, growers have many options for suitable fruit trees. Fruit trees cost around 80,000 VND/tree, depending on the type and size.

Ms. Le Hong Nhi, a flower and ornamental plant shop in Binh Thuy district, shared: To successfully grow fruit trees, in addition to choosing good seedlings, supporting products are indispensable. Specifically, clean soil and growing medium help trees grow sustainably, increase nutrition; organic fertilizers help fruit trees produce fruit evenly and with quality; choosing the right type of pot helps drain water effectively. In addition, regularly water and prune to help trees grow healthily...

Fruit tree pots are often deep and wide, made of sturdy material containing a lot of soil so that the tree can take root well and firmly avoid falling. Pots come in many sizes and colors, priced around 40,000 VND/pot. Soil not only acts as a source of nutrients but also helps develop the root system and water absorption capacity. Instead of mixing soil yourself, which is quite time-consuming and sometimes does not ensure good soil quality for the tree, on the market today, there are many types of clean soil products that growers can refer to and choose from, priced around 60,000 VND/bag. For potted fruit trees to bear fruit all year round, organic fertilizers are needed to supplement the tree's nutrition. Organic fertilizers such as vermicompost, cow manure, chicken manure, goat manure, etc. cost around 50,000 VND/bag.

Currently, in Can Tho City, families can consult and choose plant varieties and accompanying materials at ornamental flower and seedling shops or buy online. Each fruit tree variety has its own requirements for climate conditions, soil, and care. Therefore, growers should consult at the shops to choose the right tree for their space and preferences. According to ornamental flower and fruit tree traders, growers should choose tree varieties from reputable sources to ensure the quality of the tree varieties, helping the tree grow healthily, resist pests and diseases well and produce high yields. Most fruit trees grown in pots need sunlight for photosynthesis and growth, so the pots should be placed in a place with suitable light. Although growing fruit trees at home is easier to care for and less susceptible to pests and diseases than growing trees in the garden, growers should not be subjective in monitoring pests and watering to detect and handle them promptly to avoid the tree drying out. When the tree grows to a certain level, you should choose a pot of suitable size to change the pot, add more soil so that the roots have more space and nutrients to develop. In addition, regularly prune the branches and leaves of the tree. Removing dry branches and diseased leaves will help the tree to be airy, receive more light, concentrate nutrients to help the tree grow new, healthier branches...
