Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting: Best planted between late winter and early spring while dormant. Use well-drained soil in a sunny location. Suitable for containers (minimum 30L pot) or directly into garden beds.
• Sunlight: Requires full sun for optimal fruiting—at least six hours daily.
• Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first two years.
• Pruning: Prune annually in late winter to maintain shape and encourage fruiting spurs. Remove dead or crossing branches as needed.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring. Mulch with organic matter to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pest & Disease Resistance: These varieties are selected for good resistance but monitor for aphids and fungal issues; treat promptly if needed.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting

• Create a patio orchard by grouping these trees together in decorative pots.
• Add underplanting such as chives, marigolds, or nasturtiums to attract beneficial insects and deter pests.
• Makes an excellent edible border along paths or fences—combine with soft fruit bushes like currants or gooseberries for extended harvests.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant these trees?
  The ideal time is between late winter and early spring while trees are dormant, but they can be planted at any time if kept well-watered during establishment.
• How tall will these trees grow?
  Dwarf rootstocks keep trees compact—expect mature heights of around 1.5–2 metres, perfect for patios and small gardens.

  The collection includes both self-fertile and cross-pollinating varieties. Planting all five together ensures excellent pollination and fruit set each year.
