Are you ready for easy-to-grow fruits right outside your door but wondering where to start?
The Fruit Patch App has simplified the often-complex world of growing your own fruit by pre-selecting easy-to-grow fruit bushes, fruit trees, and companion plants suited to where you live. Please note that at this time the Fruit Patch App supports states in the Eastern USA that fall within USDA plant hardiness zones 5, 6, 7 and 8 (see our service area map in the app store image carousel for details).
By leveraging expert edible landscape knowledge the Fruit Patch App is designed to guide you through a simple selection process for full sun or partial shade fruit options complete with tree and bush descriptions that highlight the ornamental and productive characteristics of fruits suited to your region. Sets of either culinary or pollinator companion plants are also included to diversify your patch. The Fruit Patch App also offers you resources on planting and recommended nurseries to help make your fruit growing experience easy and successful.
Whether your goal is a single, self-fertile, disease-resistant apple tree supported by culinary herb companion plants, or native elderberry patches with pollinator habitat companions, the Fruit Patch App will guide you through the process of actualizing your fruitfull dreams.
The Fruit Patch App currently guides you to select between 10 different fruiting centerpieces in one or two-patch combinations alongside of options for herbal or pollinator-focused companion plants. Future updates will include additional fruit types, combination possibilities, and new planting category options such as culinary mushrooms.
When you create a fruit patch you are supporting a network of other fruit patches that are quickly forming a Food Forest Transformation Network, one patch at a time.
This is an opportunity to improve your life and the world around you. Offers this easy and so rewarding rarely come along - don’t miss this opportunity to make life sweeter! Get started today on your fruit tree dreams and download the Fruit Patch App.

What is supposed utility of this app? I’m a 20 yr gardener and keenly interested in planting fruit trees, pollinators, etc. I’ll save you the time: you pick paw paw or elderberry. Then you have a list of potential pollinators: echinacea yarrow Baptisia etc. You can’t select the plants you choose to make your “patch,” you can’t save the varieties you might be interested in for taste or zone hardiness. You get a very basic non customizable non selectable list you can find for free with five mins of googling
Clear & Beautiful
Conceptualizing a food forest patch from scratch can be super challenging. This app makes it simple by suggesting companions for your trees AND telling you how and when to plant them AND providing lots of other resources to help you on the way.
The artwork is also lovely and inspiring. Makes me want to head to the nursery ASAP.
I look forward to seeing how this app grows and expands!!
Beautiful and thoughtful fruit planting app
I love this app! It has gorgeous illustrations, and insightful text and audio for fruit planting (and companion planting). The approachability and straightforwardness of it as demonstrated through pictures and words creates and inviting and exciting space for beginner or advanced growers.
Inspired & Easy To Use
Beautiful illustrations, clear and easy to understand directions . . . bring on the food forests! ✨
Love this app!
Everyone should download FruitPatch.
The artwork and personal touches make this app come to life and feel like building a garden with the comfort of an old friend.
It’s user friendly and accessible to those new at gardening and permaculture.
The resource tab is a treasure trove of knowledge, I am so excited to see this app expand.
Helpful app
Genuinely care about agriculture and it’s obvious. Great features. It’s only a buck and it’s worth it.
Easy to Use
I love this app! It is easy to use and I love the artistry. The entire concept is so useful and environmentally forward thinking for the future.
Clear and immediately useful
I live in an urban lot in MD and have wanted to know if it is possible to grow fruit trees in my space. Having said that I am busy and don’t want to spend the hundreds of dollars that landscape designers want to come out and consult for planting options. This app provides clear-cut recommendations that I found easy to follow and well-reasoned. The detailed artwork and descriptions of the plants was helpful and built my confidence that these people know what they are talking about. For 99 cents this is money well spent. I left some space in my yard to see what the next release might contain - possibly culinary mushrooms?
Perfect Fit
I’ve been wondering what fruits would grow well in our area and appreciate finding an app that narrows the wide range of choices down. When I look at the nursery catalogs it all looks and sounds good but know from experience that many do not thrive here in the east even though they are rated for our zone.
Good? start…
Enter your zip code, immediate purchase. Only offered 4 fruit trees for my choices of patches (farmland Kansas) and same culinary choices, pollinators for each. Hopefully this app will expand their info base.
