Care Guide

• Apply a slow-release fertiliser, such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
• Water regularly, and don’t let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
• Established trees don’t require radical pruning; just take off any diseased, dying or damaged branches (the three Ds). Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches, and remove any that cross over so they don’t damage each other.
• Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or overripe fruit on the ground.
• Don’t forget the tree guards as rabbits can strip the bark overnight.
