Plant bare root fruit trees

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

To maintain the fertility of established fruit trees in the full yield phase, they should be fertilized every two years. Early spring is the right time for this.
