Fast fruits are suitable for the community garden because they:
- are fast growing (that’s why they are called fast fruits)
- have a compact growth form — they don’t take much space and are suitable for smaller community and home gardens
- brings plant and food diversity to the garden
- have a place in garden landscape design
- are generally short lived — typically between four and seven years depending on plant; if your community garden is not guaranteed long-term tenure, you can still obtain a fruit harvest by growing the fast fruits rather than the slower growing varieties such as citrus, avocados and stone fruits.
