In this review, some of the main tropical, subtropical and temperate fruit trees that have small or even dwarfing cultivars are approached. The causes of dwarfism, although the use of dwarfing rootstocks, is the main theme of this review. The factors that affect the size of the fruit trees are also approached, as well the dwarf cultivars of banana, papaya and cashew, and the dwarf rootstocks for guava, mango, anonaceae, loquat, citrus, apple and peach trees.engDwarf fruit treesHigh-density plantingsSpacingsArtigo10.1590/0100-29452019997S0100-29452019000301009Acesso aberto2-s2.0-85070535644S0100-29452019000301009.pdf
