Fruiting Shrubs

Enhance your garden or landscape and grow edible fruits with fruiting shrubs. Some of the best fruiting bushes for the edible landscape are blueberry, elderberry, goji, honeyberry, cherry and cranberry. Many fruiting shrubs or bushes can be planted where you might plant an ornamental shrub. Fruiting shrubs can be used for hedges and foundation plantings, too. When selecting fruiting shrubs to buy online, make sure they are suitable for your grow zone. Next, check their light requirements. Many fruiting shrubs perform best in full sun, or six or more hours of direct sunlight daily. Other considerations are soil requirements, mature height and spread, types of fruits and harvest time.
