Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches, removing 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.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:AprilFruiting Time:AugustAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
