Recommended plants for home and easy to grow

As the weather gets warmer, it's time to organize your backyard garden. I've specially gathered some easy-to-maintain fruit trees to recommend to beginners who want to try growing their own!

Summary of key knowledge points↓

North American Plant Hardiness Zones: Also known as USDA Zones, this is a system established by the Department of Agriculture that divides regions based on temperature tolerance for plants. This map helps you understand your region's zone number, which serves as a reference for selecting plants suitable for your area. Click here to see details>>

• Fig Tree

Fig trees are simple to plant and maintain, making them very beginner-friendly. They thrive in areas with full sun and fertile soil. They can be planted in the ground or in containers, though container plants typically produce fewer fruits than ground-planted ones. They are not cold-hardy, with standard hardiness zones 7-9. They easily flower and produce fruit, so fig lovers can try growing their own tree. When the branches and leaves become lush, they're also quite attractive as ornamental plants!

When I bought it, the tree was about 3.3 feet tall. After caring for it for about 4 months, watering daily and applying fertilizer once, it started successfully producing more and more fruits this month. The feeling of joy is indescribable! ... Buy>>

• Pear Tree

Early spring and late winter are good times to plant pear trees. They perform well in areas with full sun, good air circulation, and well-draining soil. Recommended hardiness zones are 3-10, offering a wide range and good cold tolerance. Some varieties are suitable for container growing, making them ideal for beginners. While pear trees are not difficult to maintain, most take 3-5 years to produce fruit. Once the tree enters a good growth cycle, it can easily live for over 75 years. The only technical consideration is that many pear trees cannot self-pollinate, so it's better to plant 2 or more varieties. Of course, if you're just growing them as ornamental plants, pear trees are very well-behaved and easy to care for!

Yesterday I picked Asian pears from our backyard. Although this year is a bumper crop year for pear trees, we didn't get many pears, but they're quite large... Buy>>

• Pomegranate Tree

Pomegranate trees are fruit trees that combine ornamental beauty and delicious taste! They are drought-tolerant but sensitive to waterlogging, and can be planted in the ground or in containers. They're suitable for hardiness zones 8-10. They're not picky about soil, but sandy soil is more suitable due to better drainage. Keeping them in full sun during the growing season will help them bloom beautifully, and the vibrant red flowers will make your backyard look warm and inviting. As the saying goes, "graceful pomegranate branches bear abundant fruits" - when the flowers bloom profusely, you'll have a bountiful harvest of fruits!

The pomegranate tree I planted when we first moved into our new home has been producing abundant fruit these past few years. The tree naturally grows toward the sun each year, absorbing sunlight and water. Just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it offers its bright red fruits. Planting with my own hands and harvesting with my own hands brings true joy... Buy>>

• Plum Tree

Plum trees are suitable for hardiness zones 4-8, have strong cold tolerance, good adaptability, and are relatively easy to care for. During the spring season, their "white snow-like fragrant blossoms" are enough to enhance the beauty of your backyard, allowing you to enjoy "jade tree with frost-like flowers" without leaving home. You can harvest abundant fruits in mid to late August, and a simple photo shared on social media will earn you countless likes. The technical issue is similar to pear trees, mainly concerning pollination. But with beautiful springs and sweet autumns, it's hard not to love these fruit trees.

Spring came extremely early this year. By mid-February, the blooming period of our plum tree was almost over. Plum trees bloom first, then grow leaves, and then bear fruit. I miss the nice weather from early February when it was around 68°F every day. My baby and I went to the beach and it wasn't cold at all. When we got home on the 10th... Buy>>

• Persimmon Tree

The Fuyugaki persimmon is the legendary sweet non-astringent persimmon variety that's sweet, delicious, and importantly, not astringent, which is why many people like to grow it. Suitable for hardiness zones 8-9, it requires full sun and well-draining soil for proper care. It has strong resistance to pests and diseases and is partially self-pollinating. Pruning is only necessary when branches cross each other to control the tree's size, making it very easy to maintain!

In autumn, it's persimmon season again. The persimmon tree planted in front of our house last year has finally ripened! The golden, fresh, round persimmons hanging on the tree look especially delightful. Since it's still a small tree, we didn't have a large harvest this year. After picking some and letting them sit for a few days, they turned orange-red... Buy>>
