  • No, fruit trees and shrubs are generally not evergreen and lose their leaves in the autumn.

    Most fruit trees and shrubs are hardy to about -15 degrees Celsius. Some species can even tolerate even lower temperatures. It is important to check the specific cold hardiness of each plant species before planting them.

    Fruit trees and bushes generally require regular maintenance, such as pruning and fertilizing. They also need sufficient water and sunlight to remain healthy. It is important to regularly check for pests and diseases and take action if necessary.

    For fruit trees and bushes, it is important to have enough space for the roots to develop. Allow for a distance of about 2 to 5 meters between the plants to ensure optimal growing conditions. Also, ensure there is sufficient sunlight and air circulation around the plants.

    Fruit trees and shrubs generally grow best in full sun, but some species can also thrive in partial shade. However, it is important to remember that the fruit yield may be lower in the shade. Make sure the plant receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruit development.

    Garden plants like fruit trees and bushes generally need to be watered once or twice a week. It's important to regularly check the soil for moisture and only water when necessary. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues.

    Yes, fruit trees and shrubs attract butterflies and bees because of their scent and nectar-rich flowers. They are important pollinators for the fruits that the plant produces. Planting these plants can help stimulate the ecological balance in the garden.

    The flowering period of fruit trees and shrubs varies depending on the type. Generally, they bloom in spring, usually between March and May. The flowering can last for several weeks to months, depending on the specific variety.

    Yes, fruit trees and bushes can generally tolerate full sun well. It is important to give them enough water during hot periods. Some species can even grow better and produce more fruit with plenty of sunlight.

    Yes, you are indeed edible. You produce fruits that can be safely eaten by humans and animals. However, make sure the fruits are ripe before consuming them.

  • For pruning these plants, it is important to remove dead, damaged, and crossing branches. Prune during the winter months and avoid pruning during the growing season to prevent bleeding. Always cut branches just above a bud or side branch.

    Garden plants that bear fruit need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water the plants at the roots and avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent fungal diseases. Check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed.

    It is recommended to use a special potting mix for fruit trees and shrubs, so that the plants receive the right nutrients. Make sure that the potting mix is well-draining and retains enough moisture. Water regularly and apply fertilizers as directed on the packaging.

    For proper growth and fruit development, fruit trees and shrubs require a nutritious, well-draining soil. Maintain a pH level between 6 and 7 and add compost or organic fertilizer as needed to improve soil quality. Also, ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

    Fruit trees and bushes thrive best in a sunny and sheltered spot in the garden. Make sure the soil is well-draining and rich in nutrients. Fertilize the plants regularly and give them an adequate amount of water, especially during dry periods.

    In winter, it is important to protect fruit trees and shrubs from frost by wrapping them in special insulation materials or burlap. Additionally, it is also advisable to protect the roots of the plants by covering them with a layer of mulch or leaves. Finally, make sure that the plants have received enough water before winter begins so that they are well hydrated and better able to withstand the cold.

    Regular pruning is important to maintain fruit trees and bushes. Make sure to remove dead branches and keep the shape of the plant. Support the plant where necessary and provide regular fertilizers to promote growth and fruit formation.

    For good growth and fruit formation, it is important to regularly fertilize fruit trees and shrubs. Use a fertilizer specifically formulated for fruit crops and apply it in spring and summer according to the recommended dosage. Ensure that the roots of the plant can absorb enough nutrients for healthy development.

    Mulching helps to keep the soil moist and suppress weeds. Use organic materials such as leaves, wood chips, or compost. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant, but leave space clear around the stem itself.

    Most fruit trees and bushes prefer a neutral to slightly acidic soil with a pH value between 6.0 and 7.0. A soil that is too acidic or too alkaline can hinder the uptake of nutrients and affect the growth of the plants. It is therefore important to regularly check the pH value of the soil and adjust it if necessary with lime or sulfur.

    To control pests on fruit trees and bushes, natural enemies such as ladybugs or parasitic wasps can be used. In addition, plants can be treated with specific biological pesticides or covered with insect netting. Regular pruning and fertilizing of the plants can also help increase resistance to pests.
