Ways to Plant Fruits

Bare Root: Bare-root plants are typically available in late winter or early spring and are purchased while they're dormant and leafless. They're usually the least expensive way to purchase plants because they don't have the cost of soil or containers associated with them.

Balled and Burlapped: Balled-and-burlapped fruit trees and shrubs, often simply referred to as b-&-b, are available from spring to fall. They feature a rootball that's wrapped in a sheet of burlap or a similar material. Balled-and-burlapped plants are usually the largest specimens your nursery offers.

Container: Container-grown fruits are most commonly available and easiest to plant. Liked balled-and-burlapped plants, they're available throughout the year and come in a wide range of sizes.

Good gardening practices work well for seasoned gardeners and new gardeners alike. These effective methods in the garden serve as good lessons for beginner gardeners.

Planting Tips
No matter which method you use to plant your fruit trees, berry bushes, or vines, water them well after planting. Spread a 2- to 3-inch-deep layer of mulch over the soil around the plant; this helps the soil maintain moisture longer so you have to water less. It also helps to control w**d growth.

You may need to stake newly planted fruit trees, especially if they are bare-root or if they're in a windy location and want to tip over. Support them only for the first year or two; remove the stakes after that so your trees can develop a sturdy trunk and root system.

One of the simplest ways to support a young tree is to use a single stake about as tall as the tree. Drive the stake in the ground about 18 inches deep and about 6 inches away from the edge of the planting hole. Use heavy wire wrapped by a section of old garden hose and tie the tree to the stake using a figure-8 pattern. (The hose prevents the wire from grinding against the bark.)

Test Garden Tip: Avoid pulling the wire tight because it can damage the tree. The trunk should be able to move lightly in any direction if you push against it.

We all would like to consume organic fruits. As a gardener, you should know that how you grow your fruits has an effect on how sweet they are.

Here are some tips that will help you to get the sweetest and juiciest fruit from your garden:

Easy Fruit Gardening Tips

1. Drainage
Fruits need plenty of water to grow. Make sure that you provide the roots with sufficient water.

However, you should not over-water your fruit plants. Make sure that the plants have adequate drainage.

2. Keep Them Healthy
Fruit plants are prone to getting viruses, which means that you should invest in high quality and virus-free seeds.

When buying seeds from companies, you need to make sure that you are buying the highest quality.

Pro tip: buy dwarf fruit trees propagated on a pest and disease resistant root stalk.

3. Prepare Your Soil
The more fertile your soil is the better the crop will be. To prepare your soil well, make sure that you till it properly and remove all the previous plants.
Alternatively, use an appropriate commercial potting mix especially for container grown fruit plants.

You also need to test your soil to ensure that it has the right PH​​​​​​​​​ balance. If it does not, you should add the right nutrients to it before you start planting.
