If you’re considering adding more trees to enhance your grounds, choosing the right type is essential to a lasting and successful investment. Fruitless trees make an excellent addition, offering the beauty of fruiting varieties without the added tree care headaches. Why plant fruitless trees on your Bay Area grounds?
Avoid Excess Landscape Maintenance with Fruitless Trees
Many fruiting trees offer gorgeous flowers and foliage, but they can create a mess with the droppings of unwanted produce if you don’t arrange for fruit reduction services. Without regular fruit removal, this waste attracts bugs and rodents, interferes with lawn care, and poses a slip/trip hazard for pedestrians. Fortunately, ornamental fruit tree varieties exist that offer the looks of fruiting trees without the harvest. They’ve graced landscapes worldwide for thousands of years, providing showy flowers without assailing bystanders and littering walkways with falling fruit.
