To make a fruit garden you should plant any soft fruits and fruit trees where they will get a full day of sun, 8 hours or more is optimal.

Plant fruits in compost-rich, loamy soil that is deep and well-drained.

Avoid planting fruits where water sits after a rainstorm.

Fruit tree roots grow deep when the soil is loamy and trees are watered deeply.

An orchard is an intentional plantation of trees or shrubs that is maintained for food production.

Orchards comprise fruit- or nut-producing trees which are generally grown for commercial production.

Orchards are also sometimes a feature of large gardens, where they serve an aesthetic as well as a productive purpose.

Some of the easiest fruits to grow at home in a fruit garden include.

Blueberries:
Figs: Figs are a traditional southern fruit that is easy to grow.
Pomegranates:
Persimmons:
Muscadines:
Blackberries:
Jujube's:

The most common fruit trees used for this are peaches, plums, pluots and apples. In the shared hole (trees planted 18 to 24 inches apart), two to four fruit trees of the same general type are planted together.

For instance, an early, mid and late peach (three trees) might be planted together.
