Growing Fruit Trees in Melbourne
Fruit trees are sun lovers (nearly all of them) a sunny warm position with at least 8 hours sun a day is essential if fruit is to set and ripen
Fruit trees need protection from birds (try bird netting), from frost (choose where you plant) and from strong wind (maybe plant a wind break or choose a sheltered position)
Mulch beneath fruit trees to provide a moist cool root run and prevent weeds
Many fruit trees do well in pots or containers, especially dwarf fruit trees and citrus trees, pomegranate trees also do well in containers
Fruit needs to be picked, otherwise if left to fall and rot you will encourage disease, leaves also need to be raked up.
A well drained humus rich moist soil is best for fruit trees, heavy clay soils and very sandy soils need to be amended.
Pruning Fruit trees is an important task. Fruit trees are best pruned in winter.
