Planting Instructions
Plant in full sun in deep, fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Choose a sheltered position protected from strong winds for best fruit set. Allow 4–6m between trees depending on rootstock and ultimate size. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, position so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, backfill and firm in well. Stake each tree at planting and water thoroughly. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first two growing seasons. Prune in late winter to establish a strong framework and encourage fruiting spurs. Feed with a balanced fruit tree fertiliser each spring.

Wildlife & Ecological Notes
A 9-tree orchard collection is an outstanding contribution to garden biodiversity. The spring blossom from apple, pear, plum, and cherry trees provides an abundance of nectar and pollen for bees, hoverflies, and other pollinators at a critical time in the season. The fruit supports birds and mammals including blackbirds, thrushes, fieldfares, and hedgehogs through late summer and autumn. Fallen fruit in particular is invaluable for overwintering wildlife. Established orchard trees also provide nesting cavities, roosting sites, and invertebrate habitat in their bark and structure.
