Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting: Best planted between late autumn and early spring while trees are dormant. Choose a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil. Ideal for large containers (minimum 30cm diameter) filled with quality compost.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells and fruit development.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and fruiting.
• Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage productivity. Remove any dead or crossing branches.
• Pest & Disease: Monitor for common pests such as aphids; treat promptly if needed. Ensure good air circulation around trees to minimise disease risk.
• Mature Size: Trees reach approx. 1m tall and spread up to 45cm when grown in containers, making them manageable and decorative.

Design Tips & Companion Planting

• Create a patio focal point by grouping the trio together in matching pots.
• Add herbs like chives or mint around the base for extra interest and natural pest deterrence.
• Suits urban gardens, cottage borders, or as gifts for keen gardeners seeking fresh homegrown fruit!

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant these trees?
  The best time is from late autumn through early spring while trees are dormant.
• How quickly will they start producing fruit?
  You can expect your first harvest within 1–2 years after planting if cared for properly.
• Do I need more than one tree for pollination?
  No; all varieties are self-fertile or compatible, so each will fruit on its own in a container garden setting.
