Growing

Care

  1. Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
  2. Support: Use stakes or trellises to support young trees and heavy fruit-bearing branches.
  3. Frost protection: Protect young trees from frost by covering them with frost cloth or using other frost-protection methods.
  4. Disease management: Regularly inspect trees for signs of disease, such as leaf spots or fruit rot, and apply appropriate treatments as needed.
