Fruit trees, shrubs, and vines are true two-for-one plants. Many varieties are beautiful — well suited to double duty as sources of delicious food and ornamental additions to the home landscape. "Luscious landscaping," as author Lee Reich calls it, brings fruit-bearing plants to front and back yards everywhere.
