Plums Growing fruit Picking your own fruit is a magical experience. Succulent strawberries , juicy plums and crisp apples are surprisingly easy to grow, even in the smallest of gardens. Or you could try your hand at refreshing raspberries and chewy currants . Many fruit trees love to be grown against a sheltered, south-facing wall and can be trained into various shapes. You could plant them in rows in their own part of the vegetable garden. Why why not make them a feature in the ornamental garden?
