Fruit Trees

[Mickie31]

Apples, pears, strawberry plants and plums are good for this time of year. Because June is a very dry month you should give your fruit bushes, canes and trees a good soak in water. Newly planted fruit tree's will espescially need water. Apply 25 litres every 10 days whilst the weather is dry because water stress can cause the fruit to drop. You should water at the base of the plant. Also mulching will help conserve the moisture in the ground and is very important.

Is it hard to grow strawberry plants? Aren't they a vine? Can they be grown inside? If they can be grown inside, I just might try them.

Depending on what zone you are in. Strawberries are very easy to grow! We planted 25 plants a few years ago and now have a couple hundred (at least) from those first 25. They love composted horse manure mixed in with the soil. Don't think they would be a good candidate for indoors unless you have a sun room. They aren't a vining plant, but send off several runners each year to propagate themselves. We just finished harvesting and canning our strawberries here.

Serenity - it depends on the tree.

I have an Anjou Pear that I planted as a five foot tall stick and got 2 to 12 pears for 5 years. Then last year I got nothing. This year we can't keep up with the fruit! (72 and counting) It is now about 10 feet tall.

On the other hand, my brother-in-law planted a Freestone Peach and got fruit the next year (though only a few due to 3 foot tall tree)

I had a sour cherry tree in my last garden and every year it produced lots of cherries. Then one year there were no cherries and I asked a fruit vendor about it. He said he was unable to purchase sour cherries that year anywhere. You just never know much fruit will be harvested each year.

apple trees do best if planted around November but can prosper up to planting at the end of March. Try planting several different types of apple trees with the same flowering times to allow cross pollination. For more in-depth advice i would go to your local nursery.
