Fruit Tree Care
Planting
Prepare the site by digging in Daltons Garden Mix. The hole should be twice the diameter of
the root mass. Loosen the sides and bottom of the hole if you have heavy soil.
Note where the soil line was on the plant so that you can plant it at the same depth.
Mix iCan Slow food into the soil at the bottom of the hole before planting.
-
When staking the tree take care to use soft tie and don’t tie it too tight. A strongly staked tree
will rely on the stake for support at the expense of growing strong roots. Insert your stake well
into the ground before planting the tree.
Watering
Water the tree in well but not to the point of leaving it sitting in water. Take care not to overwa-
ter dormant trees in winter when roots are not taking up water.
In summer, watering deeply with a soak hose or dripping hose for several hours every 3 to 4
days will encourage the roots to grow down deep and avoids wetting the foliage as this can
encourage disease.
We recommend using Grosafe Root Gro at planting time to stimulate root development.
Feeding
Apply iCan Slow Food at planting for a maintenance dose of fertiliser for 2 years. For big crops
of best quality fruit apply Tui Novatec in Sept, Dec and March.
Pest and Fungus control
Aside from a spray programme, practice good garden hygiene such as clearing leaf fall and fall-
en fruit at the end of autumn to prevent pests and diseases from overwintering and reinfecting
material as soon as you see it to help prevent it spreading before following up with an appropri-
ate spray.
When choosing a variety you can opt for one that has naturally high disease resistance so it is
less likely to require spraying during the year.

look out for our workshops that we hold throughout the year.

Root restriction bags
These bags create compact trees that fruit heavily and begin fruiting from a young age. The
tree’s energy goes into fruit production rather than branches and leaves. They can be used
above or below ground so you can move your trees easily if you need to shift. Fit more trees in
less space.
out of pipes, foundations and underground cables.
The fruit is easy to harvest and easily netted to protect your harvest from bird damage.
Sizes available 20, 30 and 40L
