Fertilize fruit trees

Pruning of trees and hedges should be done by the end of the month at the latest, as this is when the breeding season of native bird species begins. To protect the birds, more extensive pruning must now be suspended from March 1 to October 1.

Many diseases in the orchard, if detected early, can be controlled without the use of pesticides and their spread in the garden can be prevented.

Besides the period from October to mid-December, the spring months of March and April are best for planting fruit trees.
