FRUIT

Watch for pests & control as necessary. Water fruit trees & bushes in dry weather while fruit is swelling. Bark ring apples & pears if necessary to encourage fruiting. Feed apples, pears, cherries, blackberries, loganberries, black currants, gooseberries, peaches & nectarines, plums, damsons, raspberries & red currants. Spray apples, pears, cherries, black currants, gooseberries, peaches & nectarines, & strawberries. Tie up new growth on blackberries & loganberries. Control weeds around trees & bushes grown in cultivated soil. Start thinning fruit on wall-trained trees. Remove overcrowded & surplus shoots from raspberries & apply a mulch. Protect strawberry fruits with straw or paper collars & scatter slug bait. De-blossom immature & autumn-fruiting runners. Start summer pruning vines.
