Siting your fruit trees
Although for some there may be no choice when it comes to exactly where to plant your trees, if there are options available some thought as to the trees’ requirements will pay dividends in the long term. No fruit tree really likes to be in the shade so for a start choose the sunniest spot you can. Shelter from prevailing winds is also key; blossoms and developing fruits are prone to spring gales and established trees too can suffer in strong winter winds.
