Water every 7 to 10 days during the growing season (if no rain within the week) or as needed (as the soil becomes dry to the touch). If planted in a location where the soil does not adequately drain water after heavy rains (leading to standing water), relocate the plant as soon as possible. SOIL PREPARATION FOR HYDRANGEAS Dig the hole deep and wide enough so the root system has plenty of room to easily expand. Keep the topsoil in a separate pile so you can put it in the bottom of the hole, where it’ll do the most good. To loosen the soil, mix dehydrated cow manure, garden compost or peat moss (up to 1/3 concentration) into your pile of topsoil. HOW TO TELL WHEN PEACHES ARE READY TO HARVEST Sight. A ripe peach will have put on some color and, most importantly, it will no longer have any green undertones. If a peach still has a greenish hint to its skin color, leave it on the tree for a few more days to ripen. If it is picked green, a peach will have a "green" taste to it and it will not be as sweet.

STAGES OF APPLE TREE GROWTH: WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER PLANTING Years 3-4: Limb, Leaf, & Root Growth. A few years after planting in your yard, your healthy apple tree will have put on many branches and leaves and the trunk will have increased in diameter. In the spring, you may start seeing your apple tree bloom and start setting its first fruit after pollination. If you prune while your tree is dormantBLENHEIM APRICOT
The Blenheim Apricot or Blenheim Royal is an old favorite that sets the standard for apricots. The juicy, orange fruit is noted for its sweet aromatic flavor. PRUNING BLACKBERRY PLANTS Prune each main cane back to 3-4’. Then cut back side branches to about 12”, leaving five or six buds on each. Erect and semi-erect varieties should be tipped or cut back to 3-4’ in midsummer. This forces lateral branches to emerge from buds below this point. Later in the fall, after they are dormant, cut back the laterals to 16-18”. SOLVING FRUIT TREE BLOOMING & BEARING PROBLEMS Consider it a last resort.

Fertilizing is an excellent way to replenish the nutrients in your soil, especially nitrogen. Nitrogen encourages green vegetative growth, which is exactly what you want to promote before your apple tree reaches its fruit-bearing years. FRUIT TREE CARE: REMOVING TREE SUCKERS Watersprouts are fast-growing and have a tendency to grow vertically, either from the trunk or from an existing branch, and they block light and air circulation within the tree. This growth habit means watersprouts are in the way and they reduce the overall quality of potential fruit. Also, because watersprouts are usually weaker thanother
