Fruit trees are always popular, but often it takes several years before a tree produces a substantial amount of fruit. But there are a few fast-growing fruit tree varieties that allow you to be growing your own fruit within a couple seasons.
Dwarf citrus trees are small, and mature very fast, but you can only grow these in containers unless you live in a very warm place. Trees from the genus Prunus, like cherries, apricots, plums, and peaches, all grow fairly quickly, and they are so diverse that any gardener will be able to find exactly what they need.
