Prunus dulcis (almond tree)

But, in addition to having a vegetable garden where to plant vegetables, it is highly recommended as well. plant some trees whose fruits are exquisite, either in the vicinity or in the garden, as they are also very ornamental.
We tell you what are the types of fruit trees for the garden.
Citrus
Citrus x lemon
Citrus fruits are small trees or large evergreen shrubs that reach a height of about 5m (although if they were allowed to grow in their own way they would reach 10 meters, or even more). They have evergreen leaves, which means that they always remain on the plant, light or dark green depending on the species. They will grow wonderfully in neutral soils, with good drainage, and provided they have plenty of light and humidity.
Those most cultivated in Spain are the lemon trees, orange trees y tangerines. In recent times, grapefruits and limes have begun to be seen, but these are somewhat more demanding in terms of the climate, since they are more sensitive to cold and, therefore, they can only be had in those regions where the frosts are mild. .

With a height of around 5 to 10 meters, the most commonly grown are: olives, pear trees, Cherry trees, hazelnuts, almond trees: strawberry trees.
