Fruit Don Trotter Hello fellow Earthlings, and welcome to the first installment of a three part series on the care of your deciduous fruit trees during the winter months. This is so that you can reap wonderful, tasty harvests in the Spring and summer.
Winter is the season when our deciduous fruit trees are supposed to be dormant.
This week we are going into the soil to help our trees during the growing season and also to prevent some soil borne pests from attacking while the trees are supposed to be sleeping. Do not ever worry again if your fruit trees have foliage or fruit on them this late in the year. The following steps will help you to be more knowledgeable about your fruit trees and maybe understand them a little better when they act up. Step 1 Get out your garden hose and a high pressure or sweeper type nozzle. Attach the nozzle onto the hose and turn on the pressure.
