Backyard orchards — the next big thing?

The popularity of fruit trees is on the rise, according to an article in The New York Times. Dwarf and semi-dwarf trees are showing up in suburban backyards and urban patios. Suppliers around the country have seen significant increases in fruit tree sales, like the 12% to 15% annual sales growth reported by Dave Wilson Nursery in Hickman, Calif., which has one of the country’s largest selections of fruit trees.
