Here's some helpfull tips when Planting your Trees: Soak the roots before planting : Avoid planting if there's a frost : Place your tree in a sunny/sheltered position. Help the roots to stimulate and establish more quickly by mixing in some farmyard manure.
Aftercare: Protect your fruit tree from moths that will destroy the fruit and leaves - apply a Glue Band to the stake and trunk 2-3ft above the soil level. (A Glue Band is a sticky paper or glue that will stop wingless female moths being able to reach the branches of the tree to mate, from which its caterpillars will eat the leaves and fruit). Glue bands should be applied late October and reapplied as necessary. Additionally, apply fruit tree grease in December or January to kill off any overwintering pests.
