Indoor Fruit Trees - Ten Fruit Trees You Can Grow Indoors
By Jim Hofman
One of the most popular new trends in gardening is growing indoor fruit and citrus trees. These small trees grow in containers and are specifically bred to grow indoors. Let's take a look at ten varieties of indoor fruit trees and a little information about each...
Caring For An Indoor Fruit Tree
If you are concerned these trees will be high maintenance, don't worry. They are actually quite hardy and adapt well to almost any environment.
The key is giving them enough sunlight. Place them in an area where they will get about six hours of sunlight per day, preferably a southern or western exposure.
Water your tree once a week or when the soil is on the dry side of moist. Also, since fruit trees in general like humid conditions, mist them with tepid water from a spray bottle two or three times weekly.
Although it's not required, these trees will enjoy being outdoors in the warm summer months. A patio or balcony is a perfect spot. Most of these varieties are self-pollinating but being outdoors will let bees and other insects do the job.
Here are ten varieties of indoor fruit trees for your home...
Meyer Lemon
This is perhaps the most popular variety. This tree will top out at about four feet and produce lemons that are sweeter than those you will find at the grocery store, and just about the same size too.
Key Lime
Topping out at three feet or so, this tree produces two crops per year of small, tart key limes, perfect for recipes and to add to drinks.
Dwarf Orange
Several varieties of dwarf orange trees are available, including blood oranges, navel, and juice oranges. Most are seedless and we find the oranges to be sweeter than those you can buy.
Tangerine
This tree tops out at four feet and is quite prolific. We particularly like the lush green foliage and the natural, tropical scent from the blossoms.
Pomegranate
With pomegranates all the rage for their numerous health benefits, it was just a matter of time before an indoor pomegranate tree became available. It produces fruit the same size as normal pomegranates, with a softer, juicier, and sweeter flesh.
Citrus Three In One
If you can't decide which tree or trees you want, try this variety. It produces lemons, oranges, and tangerines all on one tree! It tops off at four feet and the fruit is full sized.
Grapefruit
The grapefruit from this tree is slightly smaller, with a pinkish flesh. The fruit is seedless and less tart than traditional grapefruit.
Dwarf Banana
This fast growing specimen will grow five to six feet tall and produce six inch bananas within two years. The tree has big, deep green textured leaves which really adds an element of the tropics to your home.
Pineapple
This drought resistant small tree bears pineapples that are more fleshy, without the woody center of store bought pineapples.
Papaya
An exotic looking specimen that grows only three feet tall, the dwarf papaya tree is a fast grower that produces fruit within a year.
Summary
More and more options are available for those who want to grow their own fruit indoors. These hardy indoor fruit trees are ideal for any living space and will thrive with only minimal care. Further, they are quite inexpensive, with most varieties costing less than $20.
Perfect for beginning and expert gardeners alike, indoor fruit trees are the perfect addition to any living space. Their gentle fragrant scent serves as a natural air freshener and adds a touch of the tropics to any living space.

Interest in Citrus Tree Surges Due to Their Underlying Health Benefits
Indoor plants are proven to increase health benefits and reduce stress. Citrus.com, an online shop for citrus trees, is available to provide many kinds of indoor citrus trees and other tropical trees.
VERO BEACH, Fla., March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dan Chambers from Citrus.com is encouraging people to grow trees indoors since they provide many benefits. He also added that it's no surprise people are stocking up on citrus trees and indoor plants during trying times. He says, "More and more people every day are inquiring to learn about growing their own citrus tree indoors or on their property." Citrus trees are one of the popular trees among hobbyists to grow indoors.
Growing citrus trees have the following benefits:

- The flowers and fruit can be fragrant and attractive
The fragrant citrus leaves, flowers and fruit have their own peculiarities.
- Citrus trees produce fruit
Citrus trees produce fruit rich in vitamins. Fruit is low in calories and a good source of fiber. They also may reduce the risk of kidney stones and cancer. Citrus fruit contains nutrients that may protect the brain and boost heart health.
- Increase air quality and oxygen
Having several types of houseplants can improve indoor air quality. During photosynthesis, indoor plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Growing houseplants or indoor trees is a simple way to get fresh air indoors and produce many health benefits.
- Improve Concentration and Productivity
According to studies, house plants can improve concentration and productivity by up to 15%. Moreover, planting indoor trees can also boost moods and reduce stress levels. Some of these benefits help many people to enjoy indoor planting as their hobby and activity, rather than outdoor planting especially when people are self-isolating because of a coronavirus outbreak.
- Reduce pollutants, purifying air as well as increase humidity in a room
According to study from the Environmental Protection Agency, common residential indoor pollutants that influence indoor air quality include excessive moisture, combustion products, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dust particles, radon, pesticides, viruses, and bacteria. Plants release moisture vapor as part of the photosynthetic and respiratory processes, which increases the humidity of the air inside the home. According to NASA research, plants remove toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air, up to 87% every 24 hours.
Nowadays, people are self-isolating due to the Coronavirus pandemic. One of the indoor activities people can enjoy during self-isolation purchasing and planting an indoor tree.
