Fruit Trees should be pruned every winter to ensure a good crop of fruit the following season.

Planting too deep is a common cause of tree death. Aim to plant at the same depth that the tree was growing in the nursery.

Keep a mulch-free circle around the base of the tree trunk (about 7.3-10cm or 3-4in) to prevent the bark decaying.

Apply mulch mid-to late spring and autumn. Pruning should be carried out from November to March.

Prune out Canker diseases

Spray with the copper-containing fungicides.

Fruit trees benefit from regular fertiliser Fruit Trees need a balanced general fertiliser in early spring.

Apples tolerate shade providing they receive half a day's sunshine in the growing season.

Apples prefer a sheltered, frost-free position in full sun. You can still grow apples in frost prone areas, just choose later-flowering varieties
