Your care routine
Watering
Water the root area during establishment and dry spells; avoid standing water.
Soil & drainage
Well-drained soil; leave room for the mature tree and roots.
Fertilizer
Base feeding on soil testing and growth; avoid excessive nitrogen.
Temperature
Outdoor tree. Choose locally suitable chilling requirements and hardy rootstock.
Humidity
Outdoor conditions; allow air movement through the canopy.
Planting
Choose a compatible pollen donor that flowers at the same time; most cultivars benefit from cross-pollination.
Harvest
Check the named cultivar’s ripening season and sample fruit; colour alone is unreliable.
Through the seasons
Train and prune during dormancy. Watch for scab, aphids and codling moth damage.
When your plant needs help
- Poor crop: check flowering overlap, frost damage and pollinator visits.
Pets & little ones
Eat the fruit flesh; do not chew seeds.
